Homily for the Monday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time The longing and desire for healing moves people to rush and follow Jesus. They go to towns, valleys and marketplaces, begging that they might touch the fringe of his cloak. How would you react if Jesus appeared to you today? Would you seek Him out and ask Him to heal you? What is the healing that you would ask for? Or would you be skeptical and watch Jesus from a safe distance? What is it that might keep you from approaching Jesus and asking Him for what you desire: fear, a sense of unworthiness, skepticism or shyness? No matter where you find yourself today, recognize a need for prayer and in the midst of your hardships, keep your eyes on Jesus and He will gift you with the grace you need for the day.
