WHY ARE THERE SO FEW MIRACLES OF HEALING IN THE CHURCH TODAY?
JESUS GAVE THE TWELVE AUTHORITY TO HEAL AND CAST OUT DEMONS.
"Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He said to them,
“Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic.
"Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there.
"And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them.”
"Then they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the good news and curing diseases everywhere." (Luke 9: 1 - 6).
Wednesday 25th September 2024 in the 25th Week of Ordinary Time.
"Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick."
Why did Jesus send His disciples to their first mission work and commanded them: “Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic."
Because to succeed in the work of evangelizing, healing the sick and casting out demons, they need a solid and well tested faith. Absolute faith in God's promise of Provision and Protection.
Weakness of this type of faith today is the main reason for the lack of numerous miracles of healing and casting out evil spirits in the Church. Many pastors may even be afraid to preach on the so many incidents of healing in the Gospels because they may be challenged by parishioners to explain why there are no healings in the parish.
Parishioners themselves are called upon to read and believe the word of God and go out to evangelize, heal the sick and cast out demons.
In September, the Church honors the Sorrowful Heart of Mary. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows obtain for us mercies from her Son Jesus.
