A Place of Health

Good health is a great treasure. It is in times of illness that you can see where your trust is placed, who you turn to first.

Of course, we honor medical science, but first there is our Father before any medicine or specialist. Our hearts should turn to Him in prayer, asking for guidance on what is happening. Jesus has already conquered our health by carrying all our illnesses and pains.

God's desire is for us to live healthily.

We are temples of the Spirit and need to be mindful of our physical, emotional, and mental health. At home it is necessary to create healthy environments that promote comprehensive health.

Basic things that promote physical health:

· Healthy eating

· Physical activity

· Rest

Basic things that promote mental and emotional health:

· Show of affection

· Kind words (affirmation, praise, forgiveness...)

· Laughter and games

· Communion (quality time, recreation, listening to each other...)

· Study and work (be productive)

Basic things that promote spiritual health:

· Prayer and worship

· Read the Bible (listening to the Word of God)

· Communion with God and with the family of faith

We said that Jesus has already conquered and paid for our health. Now it is our turn to maintain it. Let us pray not only for healing but also to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Challenge

· Take time together to read things that promote health and do a family self-exam in each area. Ask God for the courage and creativity to grow in the areas where you are weak.

· Once again, share Holy Communion as a family
