Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Great Crowds” – Faith: Great crowds were clamouring for Jesus, so much so that He had to preach from a boat, to avoid being crushed by them. Ponder on, “Like the crowds, are we also attracted to Jesus’ miraculous cures of sicknesses. Jesus hopes that we are looking for Him, because we love Him and want to hear and live His Gospel of Salvation.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Mark 3:7-12
Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lakeside, and great crowds from Galilee followed him. From Judaea, and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and Transjordan and the region of Tyre and Sidon, great numbers who had heard of all he was doing came to him.
And he asked his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, to keep him from being crushed. For he had cured so many that all who were afflicted in any way were crowding forward to touch him. And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, would fall down before him and shout, ‘You are the Son of God!’ But he warned them strongly not to make him known.
