Gospel text
Jn 4:43-54
There was a royal official whose son was ill in Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was near death (...). The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” Jesus said to him, “You may go; your son will live.”
Gospel's Commentary
Today we can see a great miracle: actually healing at a distance! Jesus Christ has only heard the voice of the pleading father, but He has neither seen nor touched the child... Jesus is "everywhere." Jesus is God! —Can you imagine all the things we could get if we would ask God? Although the sick, or the earthquake ... could be thousands of miles away.
