From listening to witnessing...

1 Sm 3: 1-10. 19-20/ Ps 40: 2 and 5. 7-8a. 8b-9. 10/ Mk 1: 29-39

Your servant is listening (1 Sam 3: 10)

Listening requires more than the ears. So too, healing requires more than the body. For Samuel, his listening was his initiation to a deep fellowship with Yahweh. So too for the many who were healed by Jesus. However, we run the danger of being initiated by God but for lack of motivation remain content with listening or being healed. We need to move on, like Jesus, from listening to witnessing, from being healed to being healers, from receiving to sharing.
