February 4, 2024 Fifth Sunday of Epiphany
Though the terms ‘cure’ and ‘heal’ are often used interchangeably, they really have different meanings. “Cure” is defined as a ‘recovery or relief from a disease”, while to “heal” is ‘to make sound or whole.’ We might be cured of some physical or mental ailment, but remain unhealed in the larger sense. The soul remains sick. Jesus is most concerned with the healing of souls damaged by evil and sin. I don’t think he’s so concerned about your cholesterol.
