Mark 3:7–12

Jesus departed with his disciples to the
sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him; hearing all that he was
doing, they came to him in great numbers from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond
the Jordan, and the region around Tyre and Sidon. He told his disciples to have
a boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him;
for he had cured many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch
him. Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and shouted,
"You are the Son of God!" But he sternly ordered them not to make him
known.

Reflection

l  
The people took notice
of what Jesus was doing and turned to him. How does this speak to me in this
time of prayer?

l  
Can I admit that I too
need the healing touch of the Son of God? Do I radiate healing to others?
