Pastor’s Corner The Gospel today uses a literary technique

called a “Markan Sandwich.” Mark begins one story and then shifts to another story. Finally, he returns to conclude the first story.

The first story is like two pieces of bread and the second story is the “meat” of the sandwich. Hence, its title. The first story tells us about the healing of the daughter of Jairus, a synagogue official. She was brought from death to life. The middle story of the sandwich is the healing of the woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. She had looked to doctors and exhausted her funds to find a cure. Things just got worse. She reached out to touch the cloak of Jesus and felt his healing presence in her body.

Both stories focus on the healing power that comes from Jesus Christ. The healing power of Jesus continues to be available to us when we celebrate the Sacraments of the Church especially Holy Eucharist and Reconciliation. In the celebration of the Sacraments, the divine touches the human. Jesus reaches out to touch the soul to bring his healing power. The healing power of Jesus comes to us not in a fantastic way but rather through a close relationship with Him. Staying close to Jesus is the way to ensure we receive the healing we need. Daily prayer and regular participation in the sacraments is the daily walking with Jesus that leads to healing in our life. When I speak of healing, I am referring to spiritual healing. Sometimes, physical healings can take place but often I have seen that physical ailments can be a means to bring a person deeper in relationship with Christ. Like the hemorrhaging woman, the goal of the spiritual life is to reach out to Christ and “touch his cloak.” In other words, to cling to Jesus Christ in all things.

Sin is a real wound to the soul. It creates disruption and damage in our spiritual life and our relationships with others. Serious sin unattended can cause spiritual death. It is in the Sacrament of Reconciliation that Jesus touches a soul. Power flows out from him and touches the person who is wounded. Jesus heals the wound that is caused by sin.

Perhaps, someone you know has been suffering for many years from the pain caused by sin. Perhaps they have seen many doctors and exhausted their funds to find a cure. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a hidden treasure of our faith. When have you last experienced the healing power of this Sacrament?

May God shed his grace on our country as we celebrate our birthday on Wednesday! Happy Birthday USA!! Fr. Keith

Notas del Pastor El Evangelio de hoy usa una técnica literaria

llamada "Markan Sandwich". Mark comienza una historia y luego pasa a otra historia. Finalmente, él vuelve para concluir la primera historia. La primera historia es como dos pedazos de pan y la segunda historia es la "carne" del emparedado. Por lo tanto, su título. La primera historia nos cuenta sobre la curación de la hija de Jairo, un funcionario de la sinagoga. Ella fue traída de la muerte a la vida. La historia media del sándwich es la curación de la mujer aquejada de hemorragias durante doce años. Ella miró a los médicos y agotó sus fondos para encontrar una cura. Las cosas empeoraron. Extendió la mano para tocar el manto de Jesús y sintió su presencia sanadora en su cuerpo. Ambas historias se centran en el poder de curación que proviene de Jesucristo. El poder de curación de Jesús continúa estando disponible para nosotros cuando celebramos los Sacramentos de la Iglesia, especialmente la Santa Eucaristía y la Reconciliación. En la celebración de los sacramentos, lo divino toca lo humano. Jesús extiende la mano para tocar el alma y traer su poder sanador. El poder sanador de Jesús viene a nosotros no de una manera fantástica, sino a través de una relación cercana con él. Permanecer cerca de Jesús es la forma de garantizar que recibamos la sanación que necesitamos. La oración diaria y la participación regular en los sacramentos es el caminar diario con Jesús que conduce a la curación en nuestra vida. Cuando hablo de curación, me refiero a la curación espiritual. A veces, las sanaciones físicas pueden tener lugar, pero a menudo he visto que las dolencias físicas pueden ser un medio para acercar a una persona a su relación con Cristo. Al igual que la mujer con hemorragia, el objetivo de la vida espiritual es acercarse a Cristo y "tocar su manto". En otras palabras, aferrarse a Jesucristo en todas las cosas. El pecado es una herida real para el alma. Crea interrupción y daño en nuestra vida espiritual y nuestras relaciones con los demás. El pecado grave sin supervisión puede causar la muerte espiritual. Es en el Sacramento de la Reconciliación que Jesús toca un alma. El poder fluye desde él y toca a la persona que está herida. Jesús sana la herida causada por el pecado. Tal vez, alguien que usted conoce ha estado sufriendo durante muchos años por el dolor causado por el pecado. Tal vez han visto a muchos médicos y han agotado sus fondos para encontrar una cura. El Sacramento de la Reconciliación es un tesoro escondido de nuestra fe. ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que experimentaste el poder sanador de este Sacramento? ¡Que Dios derrame su gracia en nuestro país mientras celebramos nuestro cumpleaños el miércoles! Feliz cumpleaños EE. UU. P. Keith

Pero la enfermedad y la muerte no tienen que tener la última palabra, pues Dios nos creó para que tengamos vida. Tanto la niña como la mujer son curadas. Por eso podemos cantar como en el salmo: “Te alabaré Señor…[pues] me salvaste de la muerte”. ________________________________________________ Vengan a mí los que se sientan cargados y agobiados, porque yo los aliviare”
