“Jesus entered the synagogue. There was a man there who had a withered hand. They watched Jesus closely to see if he would cure him on the sabbath so that they might accuse him. He said to the man with the withered hand, "Come up here before us." Then he said to the Pharisees, "Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?" But they remained silent. Looking around at them with anger and grieved at their hardness of heart, Jesus said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him to put him to death.” -Mark 3:1-6

Jesus waits for each of us, ready to heal us. He waits, ready to save our lives. He calls us to stretch out our hands to Him, to reach for Him, so that He may restore our souls.

My friends, it isn’t just on the Sabbath but every moment of every day that Christ, Lord of the Sabbath, wishes to enter into union with us.

Saint Antony of the Desert, pray for us.
