Friday after Epiphany
Believe in God. Believe that God is able to heal us of our infirmities and make us whole once more. The leper in the Gospel today believed, he asked Jesus to do it for him, at it happened. Notice too that he said "If you wish it". He knew it wasn't just up to him to tell Jesus what to do. Jesus had to will it. God had to will it. It's important for us to keep in mind as well that what we ask for is up to God's will. Sometimes we ask for something, but God knows what is best. He might say, "I'll give it to you, but not yet". Or He might say, "I have something else in mind for you". It is all His will. Let us not be afraid to ask things of God and always remember it is through His gracious will that it happens.
