GOSPEL THOUGHTS
*Advent Season : 2nd Week : New Liturgical Year : Monday*
*Gospel : Lk 5:17-26*
*First Reading : Is 35:1-10*
*Need of Seeing incredible things in and Around us*
*1) People saw incredible things*
The Gospel of the day speaks about the incredible things which were witnessed by the people
Some people brought a paralytic man to Jesus and Jesus healed him
When this miracle was witnessed by the people the spontaneous response of the people was *We have seen incredible things today.”*
*2) People Saw incredible things around them*
The Gospel says that the people saw incredible things around them when Jesus healed the paralytic
This must have been influenced them and affected them in a positive way
Seeing incredible things around us always creates a happy and good feeling which can change our life
At least some in the group who saw the incredible things must have got attracted towards Jesus anf His teaching
*3) Seeing Incredible things Today*
It is very important to see the incredible things today. *Today* represents the present moment of our life
It is not enough to see the incredible things in the past and hoping for the future to see the incredible things, but it is very important to see the incredible things today or at the present moment
The moment we think about our own life, we can see numerous incredible things at every moment
*4) Incredible things in my life*
Seeing incredible things within my own life will totally change my life
That our senses are working perfectly itself is the incredible thing in our life
If one of the senses which does not work, one can imagine the difficulty in functioning our own life
Our brain is a incredible thing
Eyes are incredible things
Blood is a incredible thing
Heart is a incredible thing
Reasoning is a incredible thing
Internal organs are incredible things
The moment we see these as incredible things we realise the worth of it
*5) Our God is a incredible person*
Our God does unbelievable things in our life
Nothing is impossible to God. Everything is possible
Seeing incredible things and the God who does the incredible things in our life will change our whole perspective towards God, towards life and towards others
Am I able to see the incredible things in my life, everyday?
*Think about it*
*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
