A touch, a word or the shadow
Monday, 5th week in Ordinary time
Gen 1:1-19; Mk 6: 53-56
We begin anew the book of genesis. What marvellous accounts as the basis of our faith experience! God reigns... God holds everything in being... God manifests God's glory and might in everything. When God said a word it was done.
When Jesus came, it was enough people touched him, mighty things happened. There was a spiritual connect between the people and the Lord. That spiritual connect is what we call faith.
With the same faith at a later time people would just touch the shadow of the apostles and great mighty signs would happen.
It doesn't matter whether it's a word or a touch or just the shadow... what matters is, that spiritual connect with the Lord, that we call Faith!
