“Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.”

Mark 2:17

Jesus Christ is our physician. Our Lord prescribes graces and blessings that protect, strengthen, and ultimately, heal us. Therefore, prayerfully embracing Jesus does wonders for the body, mind, heart, and soul!

We fully benefit by conforming our ways to our Lord’s ways. United with Jesus, God’s love permeates every aspect of our lives — physically, spiritually, intellectually. Sharing God’s love as Jesus wants us to do, we truly partake in his divine life in this world and for all eternity!

Granted, as we grow older, so will our aches and pains — that’s a part of life we cannot avoid. However, healing comes with the peace we find in the love of God. The peace of our Lord be with us now and forever.

Dear Jesus, may your love be my love, and may I share this love with everyone I meet. Amen.

Reflect: For strength and healing, be open each day to our Lord’s love in prayer and scriptures.
