First reading: Ezekiel 47:1-9; 12
Psalm 46:2-3; 5-6; 8-9
Gospel: John 5:1-16
The Psalms reminds us not to fear why? It is because God is our refuge and strength. God himself is with us no matter what happens.
In the Gospel, Jesus tells a blind man on the sabbath to pick up his pallet and walk.
This is one of the many miracles that Jesus did. I am reminded that we are the most important thing to God. It is not about following rules or regulations that God loves us. God loves because that is who he is; We were created to be loved by our creator.
God calls us, he wants us to recognize him. Just as he revealed himself to the man he healed. Look on your life and see areas that God has healed and recognize Jesus as the healer.
With God's mercy comes a warning. He has cleansed us from our sin, by his grace let us ask that we do not return to those sins less we fall victim to the worse effects that sin can bring, which is to separate us from the one who came to take away the sins of the world.
Prayer: Lord for the times we have failed, have mercy on us
Lord for the times we have let sin take precedence in our lives; have mercy on us
Give us the grace to be able to walk away from sin and not be drawn to its web that leaves us tangled, used and confused
