No in my way, but in the way of God

Notes
Transcript
After been in Samaria, Jesus returns to Galilee, according to some saints this a signal and a prophecy.
This signifies that at the end of the world, when the gentiles have been confirmed in the faith and in the truth, a return will be made to convert the Jews, according to: until the full number of the gentiles enters, and so all Israel will be saved (Rom 11:25).
And then the evangelist says that a prophet has not honor in his native place. Is because Jesus will testify how their own people did not receive well all his teaching. He was honored this time for the Samarian, but he must go among his people, they will reject him.
And a Roya official came to him begging for the health of his son, and Jesus answer with a reproach, why? because the faith of that man was not perfect. The other official came and ask Jesus do no need to come, only say the word and my son shall be heal, but this say you must come, you must heal my son but in the way that I want, and Jesus again made him to make an act of faith, go and your son will live.
The official is asking the grace of God and the way do this, and in this way, but only when the man let Jesus do as Jesus want his son find the health
With this we can find and example for us, we have to imitate this royal servant in his virtue: that he was worried for the health of his relative, who was about to death.
Is good to pray for the physical health of our relatives, but better beg for their spiritual health, this is the example that the Gospel invite us to imitate, to pray for the health of our beloves.
But we have to avoid the mistake of that official, ask a grace to God but in the way that we think that is better, do this for my family my friend but in the time and in the place, and in the way that I want. This is a big mistake; we have to live the way in the hands of God:
Lord, please help my brother, my mother, my son, my fried his about to die, and I do no need a signal, I do not want that you give the health in my way but in your way, when you want, as you want.
This is the perfect way to ask God, I want this but no in my way, but in your way, even more no my will your will be done.
Do my Lord as you wish, your grace is enough for me.
