Jesus helps at all times

Saturday should not be an obstacle for us to do good.
When we sometimes went out of the church after Holy Mass, especially in those larger cities, we could notice a man standing at the door and begging. We may have felt such a struggle in ourselves to give or not to give a crown. For a few days, we could meet the same person somewhere else in the city where the meeting repeated, and we experienced the inner struggle again. I’ll help him, or would I rather leave it at that? Let someone else help him! What if he abuses it, and in the end, my help will only hurt him?

In today’s Gospel, Jesus asks us, “It is free to do good on the Sabbath, or evil, to save a life, or to destroy ”(Mark 3: 4)? Jesus knows what is right and good, and that must be done on the Sabbath. He’s on he did not hide or want to conceal what he intended to do; on the contrary, he told the sick to stand in the middle and that everyone who has been there to see and understand it. Jesus, he was angry at the hardness of their hearts. He says clearly: “Stretch your hand! He shot her and his hand she healed him ”(Mk 3: 5). The sick appear before all filled with confidence in Jesus. His faith is manifested in obedience to the Lord, by fulfilling what from long experience he knew it was impossible: to stretch out his hand. When he does not consider his own experience of being chronically ill, his confidence in the Lord allows a miracle.

Everything is possible with Jesus. Faith enables us to achieve goals that we thought were unattainable, to solve old problems in nature, relationships, and health. Faith in Jesus surpasses even in our lives what we may have long ago buried as unsolvable. He does not hesitate to positively answer the man’s need, although it should be just on Saturday. Still, he risks the Jews accusing him of desecrating the feast day. Clearly, it shows us people that we are something more to him than Saturday. She’s here for us and not use for her. Saturday will do without us, but we will not do without God. The holiday is to lead us to God and not to lead us away from God.

God has chosen the Jews from among all nations and wants to, through that nation, bring everyone to salvation. He wants a person to speak to him one day a week to the cult. But this cult, a compliment, should not be an obstacle for us not to prove service to my brother or sister, my neighbor. In each of us, Jesus is a mysterious present. I am to worship God present in the tabernacle and pray to him, but when he asks me for the service of love through my neighbor, and it is on Saturday, I should not serve him because I have to focus on the Lord. The Lord Himself asks me for service, and I shouldn’t help him just because of that day I don’t help. It is a great misunderstanding of what Jesus told us. Even in today’s Gospel, he wanted to say that even though we do well, we should always do well on Saturday and especially on Saturday because then we are more aware that it’s good to make them out of love for God through His grace. We can do it on our own something good? Is it not rather God’s grace in us that encourages us to do good?

When we meet a person in need, don’t be afraid of us; on the contrary, let’s think about how best to help him. What could we do for him? To serve. Let us not expect that our help will free him from the problems he has. His problems arose for several years, and we want to help him in a few minutes. Let’s not be naive. God knows why this or that is happening and may want ours inside to arouse willingness to help. Even the little service we can help with will not be forgotten.
