Matthew 8:5-11

When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him,
appealing to him and saying, ‘Lord, my servant is lying at home paralysed, in
terrible distress.’ And he said to him, ‘I will come and cure him.’ The
centurion answered, ‘Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but
only speak the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under
authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, “Go”, and he goes, and to
another, “Come”, and he comes, and to my slave, “Do this”, and the slave does
it.’ When Jesus heard him, he was amazed and said to those who followed him,
‘Truly I tell you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you,
many will come from east and west and will eat with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob
in the kingdom of heaven.

Reflection

·        
What would I do for people who are in distress?

·        
Have I ever doubted about God when I am in
distress?
