Messiah of Compassion: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims that the Messiah is full of Compassionate Love; especially so for those who are suffering grievously.  Ponder on: How have you experienced this Truth of Jesus in times of your trials and tribulations?  Did you experience physical, emotional and/or spiritual healings?

John, summoning two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or are we to expect someone else?’ When the men reached Jesus they said, ‘John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, “Are you the one who is to come or are we to expect someone else?” ’

At that very time he cured many people of diseases and afflictions and of evil spirits, and gave the gift of sight to many who were blind. Then he gave the messengers their answer, ‘Go back and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind see again, the lame walk, those suffering from virulent skin-diseases are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, the good news is proclaimed to the poor; and blessed is anyone who does not find me a cause of falling.’
