Jesus, The Healer

(Found here)

“Healer: that’s why [Jesus came]; that’s who he is. In Jesus, divinity and humanity meet. His whole body-his hands, his mouth, his eyes become a conduit of God’s energy. What’s God’s energy, God’s purpose? To set right a world gone wrong, a suffering world. Out of every pore of his body, Jesus expresses the healing love of God.

Jesus’ ministry of healing expresses in history God’s ultimate intention for the world. In Jesus we see a hint of that world to come where there will be no more suffering, no more sadness, no more sickness.

He does not wait for the sinner, the sufferer, the marginalized to come to him. In love and humility, he goes to them. This same Jesus, risen from the dead, present and alive in the Church, is still seeking us out, coming into our homes not waiting for us to crawl to him, but seeking us out in love and humility.”
