James 5:14-15
""Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint [him] with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven."
Mark 10:15
"Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it."
The sacraments of the Catholic Church are in the word of God. In today's readings it speaks of both the anointing of the sick and confession. Why do other faiths oppose these teachings of the Church?
In Jesus's own words, He tells us we need child like faith. Children are so open to listening, following and believing. Investigate it for your self, the word of God speaks to you, be child like with curiosity and awe and amazement. Don't know how to do this, watch children learning and imitate them. Don't be stuck in your old ways.
Dear Heavenly Father, there is a whole new world out there for us to explore. Open our spirit to the newness of your living word. Help us become like children and be amazed. Give us those aha moments and speak to our spirit. We are good at feeding the flesh, may we be great at feeding the Spirit. In Your Sons most holy name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
