13th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today's Gospel offers a rare framework -- a story in a

story. Most of the healing miracles are standalone

encounters. One person approaches Jesus, demon-

strates faith, and is healed. The evangelist tells the

next story. This

Gospel, however, is

different. Jesus is

on his way to heal

one person, a young

girl of twelve, and

is interrupted on his

journey by "a

woman afflicted with hemorrhages." She bravely ap-

proaches Jesus in a crowd, despite being ritually un-

clean from her bleeding, and stretches out to touch

his cloak. She is healed! Jesus meets her eye, con-

firms her faith, and continues on to resurrect the

young girl. Reading this passage, it might be easier

to identify with one story -- the long-suffering

woman or the young, innocent girl -- and to move

past the other. But here they sit side by side. The girl

is twelve. The woman has been suffering for twelve

years. For the Gospel writers, number parallels have

deep symbolic meaning. Between the woman and the

young girl, we are not one or the other. We are both.

None of us had a perfect childhood, perfect families,

or a perfect peer group. As we endure pain, disap-

pointment, or unmet expectations, it can feel like a

part of our childhood hopes have died. Our coping

mechanisms, social adaptations, and hidden secrets

can make us the "walking wounded" in some re-

spects. Jesus wants to do more than simply staunch

the bleeding. His healing hand makes dead things

come alive. He awakens the dreams that are asleep.

This process requires prayer, conversations with

trusted community and spiritual mentors, and critical

looks at difficult areas of our life. However, we can

believe the words of our Lord. If we approach Jesus

in faith, believing that he wants to heal and save, we,

too, will hear his calming words spoken over the

hurts of our life. "I say to you, arise!" "Go in peace."

13º Domingo del tiempo ordinario El Evangelio de hoy nos muestra un momento

cumbre con un doble episodio en la vida pública

de Jesús. Sana a una mujer de edad avanzada y

resucita a una adolecente de doce años. ¡Hermosa,

admirable providencia de

Dios! Doble acto de fe, do-

ble milagro y doble

esperanza para el que cree.

Una, temerosa por haber

tocado a Jesús, recibe

palabras alentadoras:

"Hija, tu fe te ha salvado;

vete en paz y queda sana

de tu enfermedad" (Mc.

5:34). A la segunda joven, Jesús toma de la mano

y le dice las siguientes palabras: "'Talitá kumi',

que quiere decir: 'Niña, te lo digo,

¡levántate!'" (Mc. 5:42-43). Y agrega: "denle de

comer". Sanar a las personas de sus enfermedades

era un aspecto importante del ministerio de Jesús.

Pero observemos que la tarea de sanar requería fe,

una fe grande de parte de aquel que necesitaba

sanidad. La fe es un regalo de Dios, que se experi-

menta por la cercanía, la relación y la unidad con

Jesús. No basta solo con decir que se tiene fe, hay

que dialogar con el Maestro para obtener benefi-

cios. Entonces, ¿por qué cuando pedimos a Dios

que sane nuestras enfermedades nos gana la deses-

peración al no tener una respuesta inmediata? Es

bueno recordar que el solo hecho de pedir por la

sanidad de nuestras enfermedades y otros tantos

problemas ya es un gran paso de acercamiento a

Jesús. Pidamos más fe este domingo, que nuestro

acercamiento a Jesús nos lleve a luchar por la jus-

ticia y la paz tan necesitada en este tiempo de in-

certidumbre. ¡Qué no muera la confianza en Dios!

Hay vida en aquello que creemos muerto en

nosotros. Pidamos a Dios que lo resucite.

Sharing the Gospel In today's Gospel a little girl was so sick that people thought she was dead. However, Jesus said

she was just asleep. He held her hand and said, "Get up, little girl." Every day you work hard doing

chores at home and learning at school. If you are tired and do not want to get out of bed, Jesus

will hold your hand and say, "Get up and enjoy the day." In today's Gospel reading, Jairus asked

Jesus to come to his house. The daughter of Jairus was dying, and he knew Jesus could make her

well again. While they were walking to his house, she died. Did Jesus give up? No way! Jesus told

Jairus not to be afraid, but to keep believing that Jesus could help her. Jesus was even stronger

than death. He walked into the house, held her hand, and told her to get up. Jesus admired the

faith Jairus had.

Prayer

Jesus, help me to have faith in you like Jairus had. Amen.

Something to Draw

Draw a picture of a little girl or boy with Jesus holding His hand.

Mission for the Week

This week write down three things that you are afraid of, and ask Jesus to help you.
