Love that heals

“Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.” (Lk 5:31-32)

He is the remedy for all my wounds, injuries, chronic spiritual disease, my weakness and sins. He is the One who looks at me with all compassion, tenderness, respect, gentleness and pure love. He is not looking for any reward, any interest of His own. He is looking for my happiness. And what I can do is to imitate Him and act in the same way with my neighbors.

“I desire mercy, not sacrifice, says the Lord, for I did not come to call the just but sinners”. (Mt 9:13) – Communion Antiphon
