“You may go;
your son will live.”
(John 4:50)
God's power transcends human boundaries like distance and time. We should be persistent in prayer, always seeking God’s guidance in our daily living. Let us demonstrate our true faith by trusting Jesus' word without needing visible proof and believe in God's promises, even when we don't immediately see the results. Our faith can have a ripple effect on those around us.
"You may go; your son will live,"
A promise so firm, a gift to give.
No touch required, no glance exchanged,
But faith unlocked what was arranged.
A father’s plea, a heart so fraught,
In Jesus’ words, his hope was caught.
No sign, no proof, yet trust so true,
Believing life would spring anew.
Miles away, a miracle stirred,
A healing wrought by spoken word.
Through faith alone, love's power revealed,
A family’s joy, forever sealed.
"You may go; your son will live,"
In every heart, this truth forgive.
Believe the word, though eyes may not see,
And find the grace that sets us free.
Lord Jesus,
Your words bring life, healing, and hope. Like the father who trusted in Your promise, Help me to have faith in Your divine power, Even when I cannot see the outcome.
When I am troubled or filled with doubt, Remind me of Your unfailing love. Speak to my heart and guide my steps, That I may trust in You with all my being.
Lord, I place my cares and those I love Into Your hands, where healing flows. Let my faith inspire others, as the father’s faith Brought his family to believe in You.
Thank You for Your grace, mercy, and peace, For in You, we find life everlasting. Amen.

II: The Book of Signs
RETURN TO GALILEE / SECOND SIGN AT CANA
John 4:43-45 / 46-54
Gospel Acclamation
Seek good and not evil so that you may live, and the Lord will be with you.
Gospel | John 4:43-54
43 At that time Jesus left [Samaria] for Galilee. 44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his native place. 45 When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, since they had seen all he had done in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves had gone to the feast. 46 Then he returned to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. Now there was a royal official whose son was ill in Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was near death. 48 Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.” 49 The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “You may go; your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus said to him and left. 51 While the man was on his way back, his slaves met him and told him that his boy would live. 52 He asked them when he began to recover. They told him, “The fever left him yesterday, about one in the afternoon.” 53 The father realized that just at that time Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live,” and he and his whole household came to believe. 54 Now this was the second sign Jesus did when he came to Galilee from Judea.
