“Everyone in the crowd sought to touch him because power came forth from him and healed them all.” (Luke 6:19) People who came to look for Jesus had two goals; one was to listen to his teachings, the other was to cure their sicknesses. We may also say that people were trying to find harmony in spirit and in body through Jesus. Hence, Holy Words and prayers are equally important. The Holy Words can help align our thinking closer to that of Jesus’, so that we can follow God’s will. When Jesus was tempted to change stone into bread, He said to the Devil, “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” Whenever Jesus accepted God’s mission, He would find a quiet place to pray alone. Before sacrificing Himself, He invited His three disciples to pray with Him. Holy Words help us to keep our faith when our heart is in distress; prayers on the other hand help us to live in God’s embrace when our spirit is barren. Let us “try” to “touch” Jesus, “because power comes forth from him and heals our faith.”
