Ps 67, Phil 2:13
Today is our community's healing mass. If Father cannot show up, it
becomes a healing prayer service and I give the reflection.
Today we ask for God’s healing, proclaiming the words of Psalms 67.
“May God turn his radiant face
toward us and fill us with his blessings.”
From Philippians,
"For God is the one who, for his good will, works in you ....”
God’s good will to us gives us freedom. Through
this freedom, we can praise him for the blessings and healing he gives to us. We
can adore him for all the good things he does for us in his good will.
- In God's good will he offers us blessing
- In God’s good will he offers us healing.
- In God’s good will he offers us justice.
- In God’s good will he offers us fairness.
God wants to be adored by people who are free; but, God gave
all of his creation freedom. Even the things that cause us troubles.
"God’s ways are known upon all the earth."
All “that
is” upon earth moves towards him in the freedom of its creation.
In our freedom, God blesses us even when we are sick,
suffering, or in troubling crisis. God still gives us blessing, even if we don't recognize them.
- In a sick child,
- In that illness from which we suffer,
- In times of crisis and trouble
These are hard things for humanity to understand, the
mystery that is God. We have the freedom to say yes to , but the trouble is that our
doubt is a “no” to those blessings.
But, if we
- Give these things to him, put them before God.
- Claim his blessings -- his grace -- his healing -- his presence in our life
Say yes by believing and God’s light will shine upon us.
“May God turn his radiant face toward us and fill us with his blessings.”
Then praise him, let everyone praise him.
