Healing of Christ: A Leidbilder

2nd January '21

Gospel Reading: Luke 2: 25-35 and 39-40

Dear Community of Christians,

The new year will confront us with diverse events and challenges. Regardless of what we will experience, we could inscribe something like a yearly motif for the coming months in our own souls.

In view of the attacks of evil on the human soul and mind, could be this our most important impulse be to have "Christ in me", in my soul, always present. "Healing is done through you," says our Christmas epistle. We may not feel or experience the healing power of Christ, but it is nevertheless present.

​The organ we need for this perception is already predisposed and effective, but often we do not pay enough attention to our experiences. Sometimes, when we are in great need, we experience a special help, but we are usually not able to make the connection to the healing power of Christ. Since the year is still very young, we could give as much attention as possible to this motif, the healing power of Christ, and this could become effective like a shield against the attacks of the evil one.
