Mass for Healing

At 4:30 this afternoon, Gethsemani will have mass and healing for the sick. I can only hope that the church will be packed with people. Anytime healing is offered in the context of liturgy, we should run to it immediately, begging God to heal us. In a way that view seems almost like wishing for magic. Yet, are not the sacraments the very power of God at work in the Church?

I got up at 5:00 this morning, anyway, because breaking the habit isn't worth the risk. Break it once, and a precedent is set for the next time that it's more convenient to stay in bed, instead of getting up to seek God. That precedent was set by me long ago, so now I have to be on guard.

In my ignorance, I didn't know such a thing existed. :-) Did you go?

Peace.
