'Come!' and he comes; my servant, 'Do this!' and he does it. "

1. From the Gospel according to Matthew 8: 5-17
At that time, Jesus entered Capernaum, he was
approached by a Roman officer and said, "Lord, I
have in my house servant is in bed, paralyzed,
suffering dreadfully." He replied: "I will heal him."
But the officer replied, "Lord, I am not worthy to
receive you in my house; that you say a word, my
servant will be healed. For I too am a discipline
and I have soldiers under me; when I say to one, '!
Go,' he goes; to another, 'Come!' and he comes;
my servant, 'Do this!' and he does it. "
At these words, Jesus was amazed and said to
those following him, "I assure you that in no
Israelite have I found such faith. I assure you that
many will come from east and west and sit down
with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of
heaven. However, the heirs of the kingdom shall
cast out into the darkness. There will be weeping
and despair. "

2. Jesus said to the Roman officer, "Go home and
that you fulfill what you believed" At that
moment the servant was cured..
When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his
wife's mother in bed with a fever. Then he took
her hand and the fever. She got up and waited on
them.
In the evening they brought many possessed. He
expelled the demons with his word and healed all
the sick. So it was fulfilled what was spoken
through the prophet Isaiah: He endorsed our

Meditation
The Gospel tells us that Jesus marveled at the
faith of this Roman officer who did not belong to
the chosen people of Israel. Before this passage
we can ask whether our faith is sufficiently pure
and great that, thanks to her also "pagan", that is,

4. people today are seeking and have their
questions, can glimpse the light of God, approach
to faith, and also become followers of Christ.
Mr. wants to open the doors of our hearts, wants
to heal the wounds of our soul, the body sick, he
just wants us to open.
As baptized, you must be an instrument for
others to experience the love God has for them, so
that others may live by faith in Him. Are you
already a witness to Christ among men?
The Gospel passage also tells us that Jesus healed
all the sick brought to him. Jesus was dedicated
with special love those who suffered because of
his disease. And shows God as anyone loves. And
it teaches us what we must do, your followers,
heal, help, serve, offer healthy goodness, kindness

5. that opens hearts to God.
Is the sky really attractive for you? What would
you give to win and lead others to heaven?
Purpose
Today I seek to bring someone to faith in Jesus
Christ, either by prayer, charity, apostolate, etc.
