Presence – How We Protect Ourselves
We dress for the occasion depending on what we are doing. For example, a person may wear blue genes for work in construction, or a doctor performing surgery will wear a gown. We wear our team’s jerseys at a hockey game. If we are gardening, our clothes differ from our sleepwear. Clothes tell everyone a bit about us and who we are at that given moment.
When Jesus and his disciples landed their boat in today’s gospel, people recognized Him immediately. In no time, everyone from everywhere “laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.”
In Holy Communion, Jesus clothes Himself in the appearance of bread and wine. In today’s gospel, the people recognized Jesus immediately. We all must acknowledge Christ’s Real Presence in the Consecrated Host. Our outward appearance needs to be a witness to others. We bear in my body, mind, and soul Jesus in all His humanity and Divinity.
Gospel Challenge:
Our dress, speech, and how we present ourselves are not just personal choices, but they can also be a healing, inspiring, and consoling Presence of our Savior to others. If He can heal through a tassel on a robe, imagine the impact we can Have as His brothers, sisters, friends, and followers. Let’s all strive to dress and present ourselves in a way that reflects our faith and respect for others.
Love Your Neighbor:
Please join me in praying for all baptized Catholics to be faithful to Jesus in the Holy Mass every weekend. Hail Mary, full of grace…
