WITH JESUS WE ARE VICTORIUS 

In today’s Gospel passage, Jesus after teaching in the synagogue, cures peter’s mother-in-law in particular and heals the sick, the ailing and the possessed, that were brought to him thereafter.  Let us take up the healing of Peter’s mother-in-law for our reflection today.  Jesus entered into peter’s house, stood over his mother-in-law and rebuked the fever and instantly she was healed and began to serve him.

All of us encounter so many problems in our day-to-day life. The personal, physical, mental, moral, psychological, financial and social problems may overwhelm and weigh us down.  May our heart learn to recognise the powerful presence of Jesus amidst them and intercede with him to heal, to eradicate, to help, to accept and to face the same with him.  Overcoming all these problems with Jesus, strive to serve him with all our heart, mind, strength and will.  In the silence of our heat let us keep repeating: “Lord Jesus, help us to face our life with you”.
