Yesterday was Good Friday. For us Catholics, it is a day of fasting and abstinence. Other than observing the Catholic meaning of these twin obligations, I also intend to abstain from thinking, writing and talking about the law. Only for today- a clean break. Instead, allow me to share with you select Bible verses on healing. Healing is what our country needs.
“Worship the LORD your GOD, and His blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you.” – Exodus 23:25
“He sent out His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.”- Psalm 107:20
“I have seen what they do, but I will heal them anyway! I will lead them and comfort those who mourn, bringing words of praise to their lips. May they have abundant peace, both near and far, says the Lord, who heals them.” – Isaiah 57:18-19
“Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.” – Jeremiah 17:14
“For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord.” – Jeremiah 30:17

“As for me, I said, O Lord, be gracious to me, heal me, for I have sinned against you!” – Psalm 41:4
