Let Jesus Accomplish His Purpose in You

Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC, invites us to rediscover the heart of the Gospel—the very purpose of Christ. When Jesus declares, “Behold, I cast out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I accomplish my purpose,” He reveals the mission that defines His life and ours: to bring salvation, to dwell within us, and to unite us forever to Himself.

From Baptism, where we are born of water and the Spirit, to the Eucharist, where we receive His Body and Blood, the Lord draws us into His divine life. His mission is not distant or abstract—it is personal. God’s purpose is to live in you, to make His home within your heart, to press you to His merciful Heart and fill you with His peace.

But He waits for your “yes.” The salvation of God is not forced—it is offered. When we open our hearts and say, “Jesus, enter my heart,” we allow His purpose to be fulfilled in us. That is the meaning of peace, the fullness of life, and the destiny for which we were made: to become a dwelling place of God.

What Jesus responds to first is not the man’s condition, but faith — specifically, the faith of those carrying him. “When Jesus saw their faith” (Mk 2:5; NABRE), He forgives sins before He heals the body.

Mark reminds us that the season is not only about remembering Israel’s longing for the Messiah, nor only about anticipating Christ’s Second Coming—it's about recognizing how He comes to us right now. And for that, we need two essential forms of knowledge: knowledge of God and knowledge of ourselves.
