Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary TimeToday Mark’s

Gospel reports two stories of healing. One story tells us about a father’s great love for his dying daughter. The other story tells us about a desperate woman who risks much as she seeks healing from Jesus. In each story, the request for healing is itself a courageous act of faith, and yet very different circumstances are represented by the lives of each suffering person.In the first story, a synagogue official named Jairus, distraught over his daughter’s poor health, approaches Jesus and asks him to heal his dying daughter.As Jesus leaves with Jairus, Mark describes a second person who seeks healing from Jesus, a woman with a hemorrhage. This woman secretly touches Jesus from behind and is immediately cured. In response, Jesus turns and asks who touched him. The crowds are pushing in on Jesus, and yet He, knowing that power has gone out of Him, asks who touched Him. The woman could have remained anonymous, yet at Jesus’ question she steps forward and acknowledges what she has done. Jesus responds by recognizing her as a model of faith and sends her away in peace.When a messenger arrives to tell Jairus that his daughter has died, Jesus reassures him to have faith As they arrive at Jairus’ home, they find family and friends mourning the girl’s death. Jesus enters the room of the dead girl, takes her by the hand, and instructs her to arise. Jairus’ faith in Jesus has not been in vain - his daughter is re-stored to life.In each case, faith leads the person to seek out Jesus in their time of need. In the end, each individual, must use their own judgment about Jesus’ identity and their own act of faith in affirming Jesus as God’s Son.

Retreat with 135 participants and a waiting list, growth of our annual Women’s Retreat and ongoing parish

assistance for existing programs like vocations, Catholic Formation and parish resources.
