Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Jesus’ Compassionate Love”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus cured Peter’s mother-in-law, and many others with all kinds of diseases; and expelled devils from them. Ponder on, “Without Jesus’ Compassionate Love, our lives would have been filled with darkness and pain; and we could even have died through illnesses, accidents. Is this true of our lives?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 4:38-42a
Leaving the synagogue Jesus went to Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother in law was in the grip of a high fever and they asked him to do something for her. Standing over her he rebuked the fever and it left her. And she immediately got up and began to serve them.
At sunset all those who had friends suffering from diseases of one kind or another brought them to him, and laying his hands on each he cured them. Devils too came out of many people, shouting, ‘You are the Son of God.’ But he warned them and would not allow them to speak because they knew that he was the Christ. When daylight came he left the house and made his way to a lonely place.
