Let us serve the Lord

Today's Readings:
1 Cor 3:1-9
Ps 33:12-15, 20-21
Lk 4:38-44

In our Gospel today we see Jesus healing Simon's mother-in-law, and once she is healed, she then proceeds to serve the Lord. We also see the crowds, amazed at all Jesus has done, trying to prevent him from leaving to other towns and Jesus replies that: "to other towns also I must proclaim the good new of the Kingdom of God..." When we see Christ work in our lives today, which example do we follow? Do we attempt to keep Christ and his gifts to ourselves, or do we get up and serve the Lord so that he may be made known to all and all may receive the good news of the Kingdom of God? Today let us vow to the Lord and to ourselves that, not only will we allow Christ to heal us, but once he does, that we then in turn will follow and serve him so that he may be made known to all we encounter. Have a great day and God Bless.
