Some
of us feel quite isolated after 8 weeks of physical distancing. Imagine
a disabled man so isolated for 38 years that there had been no-one to
help him at the right time. Perhaps the miracle for him that was as
important as his physical healing was that finally someone paid
attention to how alone he was. His healing calls us to pay attention to
why some people (even we ourselves?) become cut off from others, and,
more importantly, what they (or we) need in order to be restored to
community. Restoration from isolation to community is the true healing.
