I will do it

“‘Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.’ He stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, ‘I will do it. Be made clean.’ His leprosy was cleansed immediately.” (MT 8: 2-3)

So comforting are the words: “I will do it.” Our Lord waits for our requests. He is a merciful God, Who came to us to restore our lives and to give us true freedom. When we ask Him, when we come to Him, He is always ready to hear us and answer.

“Christ took away our infirmities and bore our diseases.” (Gospel Acclamation)
