Article 2 IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME
2616
Prayer to Jesus is answered by him already during his ministry, through signs
that anticipate the power of his death and Resurrection: Jesus hears the prayer
of faith, expressed in words (the leper, Jairus, the Canaanite woman, the good
thief)84 or in silence (the bearers of the paralytic, the woman with a
hemorrhage who touches his clothes, the tears and ointment of the sinful
woman).85 The urgent request of the blind men, “Have mercy on us,
Son of David” or “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
has-been renewed in the traditional prayer to Jesus known as the Jesus Prayer:
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a
sinner!”86 Healing infirmities or forgiving sins, Jesus always
responds to a prayer offered in faith: “Your faith has made you well; go
in peace.”
