As amazing as physical healings are, what's more amazing is how they summon forth faith, especially from those who were not considered to be the people of God, like Naaman and the Samaritan leper. Truly God is doing great deeds before all the earth, as written in Psalm 98.
Indeed, Jesus speaks to this when He tells the Samaritan leper who returns to thank Him that his faith has saved Him. He has been healed fully in his whole being and spirit.
This healing comes because of the power of God to bring us salvation in Jesus Christ. So no matter what difficulties we face in life, God's power in stronger, and is never "chained", as St. Paul writes. So we endure, because we know God's power is already at work healing us, as we advance toward His Glory.
This was so beautifully represented in the anointing of the sick that fittingly happened at Ascension Parish's Masses this weekend. We see God's working us to comfort us in ailments, which gives us a foretaste of the Glory in Heaven, where there will be no more sickness or ailments, and all will be made whole.
