Faith saves!

Naaman, the great an mighty warrior is healed from his leprosy by bathing on the little river journey. Although, he was a bit reluctant in the beginning, he finally obeys the word of prophet Elisha. Go and bathe seven times in the river, Jordan. A kind of baptism, which leads Naaman to his profession of faith, the true God, the God of Israel, who is the God of all nations. Faith saves!

Jesus in today's Gospel, refers to this healing of Naaman and the encounter between Elijah and the widow Zerephath to show that God is God of all nations. All we need is to have faith in him. The Easter mystery embraces the whole humankind, even the entire creation. Our faith in such a powerful mystery of salvation makes us all witnesses of Christ message to the whole world. Let us repent and believe in the Gospel.

Happy New week!
