Some prayers get answered in an instant; others take more time. How hard do you hold on to God when the wait is longer? - Daily Bible Reflections February 4,2014


JUST TOUCH
 
She touched his cloak... and her bleeding stopped at once. – Mark 5:27, 29
 
Cancer had wrapped around Connie’s spine and she could no longer walk. She needed an operation so a metal plate could be screwed on to her spinal column. But initial tests showed her bones were already brittle.
       Expecting a difficult procedure, she wanted Fr. Fernando Suarez to pray over her at his healing Mass before the surgery. But she got the time wrong and had to wait for two and a half hours. Fr. Suarez arrived just as the Mass was scheduled to start and only had about a minute to pray over her. Great disappointment about the long wait and the short pray-over gripped her until she felt God reminding her about the woman who touched Jesus’ cloak.
       That’s when she realized she was that woman. She immediately felt her operation would be successful. During the surgery, the doctor discovered that her bones were not brittle at all. Miraculously, they were so hard that it took longer to drill holes for the screws.
       Our prayers need not always be kilometric and drawn-out to be heard. Short and heartfelt prayers get the same attention from God. Lella M. Santiago (mirellasantiago@yahoo.com)
 
Reflection: Some prayers get answered in an instant; others take more time. How hard do you hold on to God when the wait is longer?
 
Lord, I believe that I only have to reach out to You with great faith and You will hear my prayer.
 
St. Joseph of Leonissa, pray for us.
