June 28, 2009 Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
From today′s Gospel reading:
Mk 5:21-43 or 5:21-24, 35b-43:
The woman had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak. She said, "If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.quot;” Immediately, her flow of blood dried up. Jesus said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you."
Reflection:
The woman’s illness made her a religious and social outcast. She was unclean, not to touch or be touched by anyone. But she takes a chance, reaches out and touches Jesus. He does not recoil from her, but heals her. After her healing, Jesus addresses her as “Daughter”- she is no longer an outcast, but is restored to the family of God′s people. Jesus has come to heal and invite the outsiders into the community.
And so we ask ourselves:
- What is there in my life that makes me feel like an outsider to the church community?
- How can I reach out to Jesus for help?
