READINGS:
1 R : 1 KGS 8 :1 - 7, 9 - 13.
Ps 131 : 6 - 7, 8 - 10.
Gos : MK 6 : 53- 56.
IN THE GOSPEL WE READ ABOUT JESUS HEALING THE " MULTITUDES "
SICKNESS IS PART AND PARCEL OF ONE'S LIFE.
IN FACT SOME EXCLAIM; ' MORE THE DOCTORS MORE THE DISEASES'
IT SEEMS TO BE TRUE.
VISIT WENLOCK , FR. MULLER'S, KSHEMA , YENEPOYA, A. J. OR ANY GENERAL HOSPITALS ON ANY RANDOM DAY YOU WILL BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THE NUMBER OF ' INVALIDS '.
JESUS THEREFORE SETS ABOUT CURING THE SICK.
ALSO CURE IS ONE OF THE MESSIANIC SIGN.
TOMORROW IS THE WORLD HEALTH DAY IN VIEW OF THE FEAST OF OUR LADY OF HEALTH.
IS IT NOT PROPER THAT WE PAUSE FOR A WHILE AND REASON OUT AS TO WHY PEOPLE FALL SICK ?
MAY BE A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THE CAUSES OF SICKNESS ARE ' MAN MADE ' AND RELATED TO LIFE STYLE.
WHO TELLS YOU TO EAT JUNK FOOD ? OVER EAT ? DRINK WITHOUT MODERATION ?
GOD IN GENESIS TOLD THAT ONE SHOULD TOIL,( 10 BHOTA ZARON 5 BHOTA THONDAK )
PAUL TOLD THESSALONIANS NOT TO FEED IF ONE DOES NO WORK.
WHERE ARE WE TODAY ?
TODAY PEOPLE WANT MORE LEISURE AND PLEASURE DIRECTLY LEADING TO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY LIFE STYLE DISEASES.
IN THE FIRST READING WE HAVE THE REFERENCE OF THE TWO TABLETS--- NOT OF THE MEDICAL STORE.
BUT FROM GOD ABOVE.
THE TABLETS OF TEN COMMANDMENTS.
FOLLOW THEM IN LETTER AND SPIRIT FROM TODAY AND SEE HOW MUCH ' SICKNESS , WOULD BE HEALED.
