I ask everyone to pray tonight for all those suffering from any affliction or recovering from any surgeries. I have been in receipt this evening of news about cancer and the need for surgery for a loved one, about seizures affecting another, and recovery for a friend. It seems everyday we hear of rampant disease, cancer taking another victim, life being complicated by sickness and distress. We need in these times to join together and call out to God for His mercy and aid. Remember the words of the centurion in the Gospel of Matthew, "But the centurion said, "Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed." We are not worthy of God's goodness, yet He sends it freely. This never ceases to astound me. How can we, beings who make such mistakes as war, greed, crime, be loved by God unceasingly? Gods love is truly amazing. It is in God's love that we find peace, healing, comfort. And we can ask for this love over and over again because God constantly offers it. So pray tonight that God's love and mercy reaches all those who are in need. And what we give, will be returned to us one hundred fold.
