Show of faith
From today’s Scripture: “With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all.”—Acts 4:33
In my native Kenya, many of our folks continue to believe in the power of prayer and the sacrament of the sick through which God’s mercy and healing is revealed. The faith of our people, despite many of them living in poor conditions, is a reminder that there is God and his mercy endures forever.
Like we hear in the first reading today, believers in the Lord of our own day continue to increase in a world that has grown weary of God’s mercy.
May the Lord of mercies heal our sicknesses that we may have and may we, like believers of the past, rejoice in the God that we know stands at the ready to touch us with mercy.
Let us pray: Bless us, Lord, with your mercy and heal our world.
