Reflections

The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter. He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to him from everywhere.
(Mark 1:45)

My Jesus, you had told the healed leper to say nothing, and yet he would not or could not keep silent. Yet, Father, you used this development to draw people out to “deserted places.” It is there that I find you today, in quiet and solitude.

You use even our disobedience to disperse your grace. I want only to obey you, but when I fail, you will still use me. Only you see everything as now. Only you know the outcome. I trust you, Lord. Please help me to listen and seek you with all my heart.
