Bible Question:
I'm having a very hard time understanding John9:1-12 and Job1-2 I need some help.... According to Exodus did the disciples think they had a good reason to ask about the sin of the blind parents? The man was blind at birth due to the sins of his parents? In Job1-2 is personal suffering of Christians always traceable to sin. also was Job suffering for the glory of God and for his strength of his soul. So hard to understand. Job took his punshiment and NEVER said anything bad about God. He was a strong person. |
Bible Answer: sweet, In addition to the other helpful posts made by others I would offer this: " The Holy Spirit gives to some a special charism of healing[Cf. 1 Cor 12:9,28,30] so as to make manifest the power of the grace of the risen Lord. But even the most intense prayers do not always obtain the healing of all illnesses. Thus St. Paul must learn from the Lord that "my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness," and that the sufferings to be endured can mean that "in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his Body, that is, the Church."[2 Cor 12:9; Col 1:24] "Union with the passion of Christ. By ... grace ... the sick person receives the strength and the gift of uniting himself more closely to Christ's Passion: in a certain way he is consecrated to bear fruit by configuration to the Savior's redemptive Passion. Suffering, a consequence of original sin, acquires a new meaning; it becomes a participation in the saving work of Jesus." The Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraphs 1508 and 1521. Emmaus |
