Do you want to be well?

“When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him, ‘Do you want to be well?’” (JN 5: 6)

I like this question. This is how Our Lord looks for our limits, our weaknesses. He respects our freedom, but shows the direction—“to be well.” We can come to Him, and to bring Him all our problems. He will change our hearts and our lives.

“A clean heart create for me, O God; give me back the joy of your salvation.” (Gospel Acclamation)
