1 SAMUEL 17:32-33, 37, 40-51
MARK 3:1-6

Against all odds, the young and diminutive shepherd boy David, in today’s first reading, defeated the mighty Philistine warrior. Similarly, in today’s Gospel, Jesus healed the withered hand of a man on the Sabbath to the consternation of the learned of the day. For both these instances, the only explanation was that each of them knew that God was on their side. This alone gave them the confidence and conviction to do what they did.
Can we recall similar times in our own lives? When was it that we found ourselves doing something that was not the most practical, possibly not even logical by any objective standards? In such an occasion, we could have only heard the disapproving voices of even those people who deeply care for us. And yet, we knew that God was on our side. Somehow, God showed us the way and provided us with what we needed. He alone gave us the strength and courage to go on.
As we recall such moments in our lives, let us thank our Father. Let us also continue to seek his grace to reveal His will for us today.

Finally, we pray for one another, for those who have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most.
Have a good day!
