Ask him to heal us

The miracles of Jesus – such as healing the sick like the man in John’s Gospel – encourage us to offer ourselves in all our human frailty to Him, and to ask for His healing presence. We seek help with our spiritual as well as our physical ills – as Jesus, who is truly God’s Son has promised to heal us. He demonstrated his willingness to heal people in many ways throughout His life on Earth, through His death and resurrection. We are blessed with faith when we call upon Him to heal us.
