The evangelist noted that people ran all over the area. They took off – and continue to take off. They were running around looking for healing. Even today, they run after doctors, ambulances, and pharmacies, after bioenergy therapists, and ointment makers, they start looking for the right diagnosis and effective medicine. And besides, not only look for medicine, but also to look for better living conditions, to look for a good job, material success, and profit; they are running to the point of having a heart attack – and often this is the only result of their running.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Running, chasing, and flying – have become the disease of modern man, and this disease destroys him more effectively than all other diseases. The reason the people of the Gospel started – was the meeting with Christ; they converged where they detected his presence. We are freed from such running. We can detect Christ’s presence, alive and personal, at every step, within reach. We observe how people in cities, and also in rural settlements, in their daily running, almost directly touch the church, which is open for them right next to the road, on the street, but they pass indifferently around the open door; do these people relieve in the real presence of Christ in this place? It would certainly be no loss to tarry for two or three minutes; on the contrary, it would be a profit. The call does not reach us then: Come to me, all you who are burdened and persecuted… ? In such a meeting of his open heart with our faith and trust, he would become for us at least to some extent a Counselor, our help, an exhalation, satisfaction and, perhaps, even healing – and our pursuit would not be so dramatic or even tragic. The world-famous psychologist (V. Frankl) says that the tragedy of today’s man is that he cannot stop himself…<\/span><\/h2>\n

After all, it is not only about stopping at the right moment in the church (or in its vestibule);\u00a0perhaps it is necessary to somehow slow down our pursuit due to a moment of reflection during prayer (a tithe of the rosary, a passage from the Holy Scriptures, an evening examination of conscience) when the mind can focus on where the final limits of our pursuit are. Blessed is the opportunity to stop with Christ at the moment of St.\u00a0reception, where I establish intimate contact with him without nervously running around the whole area<\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
