The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the deformed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind able to see, and they glorified the God of Israel. (Matthew 15:31 NABRE)
Every now and then it helps to remember that the stories about Jesus which are recounted for us by his followers were also witnessed by others, many others, people we know nothing about. In the presence of crowds of people, Jesus healed the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute, and many others.
Imagine being one of the people Jesus cured. Imagine your biggest problem and do what the people of Jesus' time did, bring it right up to Jesus and ask him for help. Not as a dare, but trusting that the Jesus we read about is still alive today and able to answer your request. No, not as a dare, but with deep humility before the one who humbled even himself before God and died on the cross. Ask him to intercede for you with the Father, just as he did for those people in the crowd who needed his help.
Today, I will place my biggest problem in Jesus' hands, humbly trusting that he will hear and answer my request.
Blessed Rafal Chylinski, whose life reminds us that every one of us, even though we are sinners, has been called to love and to holiness, pray for us.
