Gospel of St Luke, 13:11

From the Prologue from Ochrid:

CONTEMPLATION

To contemplate the miraculous healing of the bent over woman: "And behold, there was a woman who for eighteen years had a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent over and utterly unable to look upwards" (St. Luke 13:11):
1. How the Lord placed His hands on the deformed woman and the woman straightened up;
2. How my soul is deformed as the woman and is bent over to the ground;
3. How the Lord can put His hand on my soul, i.e., His Holy Spirit and the deformity will immediately be straightened up.
