Quote for Reflection (Sunday, September 19, 2021)

“The work of Jesus Christ is to a great extent an account of healing: restoring, curing, making whole. In part, the personal activity of assisting in the healing of others helps to align our lives with Christ. Participating in this healing process gives our lives meaning. It is through the face-to-face encounter of healing through sacraments, prayer, miracle or love that we witness the power of God’s life force, which nurtures body, mind and soul.”
