Jesus was and is a healer. He healed when He walked among us and has continued to do so for two thousand years. He heals through love and empathy. The accounts of Jesus’ healing in the Gospels describe agape, or “descending love” according to Pope Benedict XVI in Deus Caritas Est. (The opposite being eros, or “ascending love,” the word used in most non-Christian ancient literature.) And as the Apostle John declared in his first letter, Ο Θεός είναι αγάπη: “God is love.”
