Quiet Heroes
In today’s Gospel Jesus worked his first miracle in Mark’sGospel – and it’s a healing – no surprise there. The entire ministryof Jesus demonstrated His compassion for the suffering. He laidhands on lepers, restored sight to the blind, returned vitality tothose whose limbs have failed them, and saved Peter’s motherinlaw from her fever. In wellfed cultures like ours, we may not appreciate how threatening fevers are to the malnourished, whodon’t have the physical resources to feed the fever that fends offthe infection. Fevers were often death sentences. Jesus, instructedof her fragility, moved directly to her aid, and with a touch, restored her completely.
Oh, to be able to lay hands and cure!Even though we don’t have Jesus’ amazing powers, we can
do the same good work as those attending Peter’s motherinlaw,in bringing Him to the afflicted. We do our best to see to it thatthose who are unable to join us on each weekend in person arestill able to feel the Lord’s presence in their lives. To accomplishthis, in our parish we have over thirty people, quiet heroes all,who do just that, bringing the Body of Christ to the sick and infirm.
They visit people in their homes, in convalescent hospitals, in assisted living residences, rehabilitation centers, and at both Pleasant Valley Hospital and St. John’s Hospital in Oxnard. Some of ourministers work full time and have families. Some are retired, and are generously making good use oftheir free time. They try, at each encounter, to spend some social time with their communicant, lead thesick in brief but intense and worshipful prayer, and then offer them communion.
I frequently note how deeply connected these ministers become to their charges, often accompanying them from home care, to hospital and convalescent care, all the way to their deaths, at timeseven attending their funerals. From personal experience, I can attest to the beautiful faith of our elderlyand sick parishioners. I often feel that I receive more than those I visit, whose trust in, and love of theLord is often so deep.
Those that do will often exhibit many other beautiful qualities of generosity, tenderness,prayerfulness and compassion. In effect, they resemble Jesus, at least to me.
This ministry is not for everyone. I encourage you to consider joining this marvelous companyof Christlike, quiet heroes. You don’t have to be wise or eloquent. You do need a caring heart, but Ibet that’s already true about you. Give this service some deep thought.
Siempre adelante!
