The Healing Miracle
No fixed feast day in the calendar
Peter heals a lame man at the Beautiful Gate in the name of Jesus Christ.
In the name of Jesus, the lame man walks
One day, Peter and John went to the temple to pray. At the Beautiful Gate, a man crippled from birth was sitting and begging for alms. When he saw them, he asked for help. Peter looked straight at him and said, "I have no silver or gold, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!" Immediately, the man's feet and ankles became strong. He jumped up, walked, and entered the temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God. This is a sign that the power of the Risen One continues to work through the Church.
Prayer
Healing power comes from Christ
- The power does not come from the apostles. Healing flows from Jesus Christ Himself, not from any human strength.
- Signs and wonders testify to the Gospel. Miracles bear witness to the message of salvation the Church proclaims.
Every good work we do is through the power of God working within us.
Prayer
Lord, help me to always rely on Your power rather than the material values of this world.
