In today's Gospel, people in the land of Gennesaret were quick to bring their sick to Jesus for healing. In so doing, they displayed love's haste.
Let us also be quick to bring those we love to the Lord in prayer. Let us remember our Holy Father and all the bishops and priests who govern us. Let us remember our country, especially in this presidential election year. Let us remember our spouses, children, and those in our extended families. Let us remember our friends and coworkers. Let us remember the poor and those who are unemployed and cannot find work. Let us remember our deceased family and friends.
James 5:16 says, "The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects"; therefore, let us persist in prayer by seeking God's will for those we know and love and for those who need our prayers.
