Epiphany Reflectons,Feb.9,12,Mt.12:18-21

In today's Gospel, we are told about the mercyof Jesus.The evangelist uses a messainic prophecy from the prophet Isaiah to describe the ministry of Jesus.Jesus would not do anything to inflict pain on any one but would do everything possible to lift the burden of pain from the lives of people. As Jesus was going around, healing and comforting people, his work of mercy was expalined  using the prophetic words  from Isaiah.
We have to carry this conviction that our Lord will always be with us in our times of need. When we are hurt and sufering, we should find our strength and hope n the comforting love of Jesus.Whatever may be problems, we should never get frightend or feel hopleess. We have to hope even when there is no  visible sign  of hope, knowing that the Lord will not abndon us and that  he would come to our aid.
