Lenten Reflection - February 29, 2008

“They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.” - Mark 6:47-56

Reflection by Charles McClunin

What does it take to know that 'You Know God'? In Jesus’ time the people could talk and listen to him, observe his actions and question his intentions, be spellbound by his miracles. It was a 'hands-on' experience that left those fortunate enough to witness these events so much more ready to 'Jump on the Band-wagon' and follow him—no questions asked! Today, I envy those witnesses from long ago; you see, I'm like Thomas; I want to put my hand in his wounds but I can't, so I go thru life with the knowledge that his life is my GPS which directs my route and corrects my wrong turns. As long as I do not turn him off and BELIEVE in his guidance, I know I will reach my intended destination.
