Reflect
“Butch, you’re back,” I greeted our receptionist his first weekend back after heart surgery. He smiled, sharing how lonely his physical recovery had been, acknowledging that emotional healing might take longer. Just then a man approached with his shy daughter. “She wanted to say hi to you.” Butch beamed. Let the healing begin.
Pray
Divine Healer,
The bleeding woman in the Gospel knew.
“If only I can touch the hem of his garment, I will be whole.”
Others knew too, so they traveled miles just to be near you,
for physical as well as spiritual healing.
Awaken me to those in my world who need a touch of healing.
Act
Are there people in your life—personal or professional—who are recovering from surgery or long illness? Take time to greet them with a smile, a question, a hug. Physically they might look healed, but they may need a lift to conquer lingering fears.
