1 Cor 3:1-9 / Luke 4:38-44
One of the things that are among the top in our prayer list is to pray for good health.
Certainly we know the importance of good health, and we would even say that health is wealth.
And we also know how paralysing illness and sickness can be and how depressing it is to be lying on a hospital bed.
Jesus came to proclaim the Good News of salvation and He also cured illness and diseases.
And there was one other thing that He did - He cast out devils and evil spirits.
Equally as important, if not more important that physical health, is spiritual health.
In the 1st reading, St. Paul pointed out the spiritual health of the Corinthians in that there was jealousy and wrangling.
That caused division in the community. He urged them to be united as fellow workers with God.
If there is division in the community, that is a sign of the unhealthy state of spiritual health.
Let us turn to Jesus and ask Jesus to cast out all the evil in us so that we can be spiritually healthy and work for unity as fellow workers with God.
