You will not be turned away

It's another Friday! READ and/or LISTEN to our mass readings today.

In our Gospel, Mark 7:31-37, we continue to see Jesus perform miraculous healing!

Jesus takes a deaf man with a speech impediment, who was brought to him for healing away from the crowd. When they are alone Jesus puts his finger in the man's ear, and spitting, touched his tongue, then prays to God in heaven and the man is totally and completely healed! He can hear and speak with no difficulty.

We continue to see over and over and over again throughout scripture that Jesus doesn't turn away anyone who earnestly seeks His help. Do you approach him with an expectant faith? Do you boldly go to Him with confidence?

Nothing is impossible for God, "So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help." ~ Hebrews 4:16 (NABRE)
