Healing Ministry

Yesterday, the Church celebrated the memorial of Saint Camillus de Lillis. After his military service and conversion, he devoted his life to the care of the sick. He founded a religious order that established hospitals and cared for the sick. Saint Camillus continued a healing ministry that goes back to Jesus Christ. Our Lord made himself present for those who were sick and he performed many miracles and healings. In the gospel for today, Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus gives us a wonderful invitation. Our Lord says, "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.". Jesus invites us to come to him and he will give us the comfort, peace, healing, strength that we need in our journey of life and faith. The Lord is always there and always calling us by name. Let us listen to the voice of the Lord in our lives. May we make the presence of Christ known to our brothers and sisters through the Church's healing ministry. God Bless You!!!
