Sharing Faith Blog

“He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up.  Then the fever left her and she began to wait on them.”  Mk 1:31

2/4/2018

 
​Dear Friends:
 
I thank you for reading our “Sharing Faith Blog.”  This blog is dedicated to having parishioners share a reflection concerning something about their faith or sharing a reflection regarding a reading from the Liturgy of the Word for Sunday Mass.  I thank Lisa Monk for her reflection on the Gospel from Mass on February 4, 2018, (Mark 1:31). 
 
Respectfully yours in Christ,
Fr. Tom Morgan
Pastor
 
“He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up.  Then the fever left her and she began to wait on them.”  Mk 1:31
 
He took her by the hand – not from afar, not with any fanfare, not with his words – he took her by the hand.   It was a personal connection.  He cured her fever and she was able to continue to do the work she was called to do, the same work we are all called to do – to serve Jesus.  It brings me great comfort that He will take ME by the hand and lift me up from my sins that keep me in bed.  The sins that keep my soul feverish and leave me down and out and unable to do the work I am called to do.  And he continues to lift me up every time I sin, every time I am “feverish”.  So I can be lifted up to do the work I am called to do.

 
Lisa Monk – most notably known as “Kevin’s Mom”, married to Tom and our daughter Mary Jo lives in Jacksonville.  I am an Usher at 7:30 Mass, involved in Bible Study, Alpha, Embrace and glad that Lifeline added a Saturday so I can help there as well.
