The Healing of the Bent Over Woman: Don't Get Lazy, No Excuses

About this sermon

In today’s reflection, we explore a powerful Gospel story about the crippled woman healed by Jesus Christ—a story that reminds us of perseverance, faithfulness, and the quiet miracles that can happen simply because we show up. We’ve all experienced those Sunday mornings when we feel lazy, tired, discouraged, or spiritually dry. Excuses come quickly—but Christ still calls us into His house. This sermon dives into why attending church matters, how prayer is an action, and why God meets us when we place ourselves in His presence—just as Jesus met the bent-over woman who faithfully came to the synagogue for 18 years. Through this Gospel message, we are reminded that: • We are all bent down by the weight of life—sin, sorrow, fear, and temptation. • Like the crippled woman, we are healed because we come to where Christ is. • Prayer is not passive—it is work, movement, and the opening of the heart. • When we come in faith, Jesus touches us, renews us, and heals us. May this message strengthen your walk with Christ and deepen your love for His holy Church. ✝️ Glory to Jesus Christ!
