Last Sunday we heard about Jesus calming the storm, the first of sábados de 10am-2pm four miracles that Jesus performs in the vicinity of the Sea of Grupo de jovenes: Galilee. Each of these four miracle stories offers us a glimpse at TBD Jesus’ power. This week we hear about the third and fourth All are invited to join: miracles, skipping the second miracle, the healing of a man from For Video Access/ Para Aceso por video: Gerasene who was possessed by a demon. https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2794843961… Meeting ID: 279 484 3961 # Today’s Gospel reports two stories of healing. One story tells us about a father’s great love for his dying daughter. The other story Password: 341895 # tells us about a desperate woman who risks much as she seeks For Phone access/ para aces for telefono: healing from Jesus. In each story, the request for healing is itself a Dial/Marque: 1‐646‐558‐8656 courageous act of faith, and yet very different circumstances are Meeting ID: 279 484 3961# represented by the lives of each suffering person. Password/contraseña: 341895# Jairus is described as a synagogue official, a man of considerable standing in the Jewish community. Distraught over his daughter’s Something Funny/ Algo Gracioso poor health, he approaches Jesus and asks him to heal her. Although Mark doesn’t provide many details, we can imagine that his (Job 8:21 “He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, daughter has been ill for some time and that her condition is and your lips with shouting.”) deteriorating. 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. Jesus’ disciples, always a little clueless in Mark’s Gospel, help us envision the scene. 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 acknowledging her as a model of faith and sends her away in peace. At this point, we can imagine Jairus’s impatience with Jesus; his daughter is dying and Jesus hasn’t helped him yet. As if to build a sense of urgency, messengers suddenly arrive and confirm Jairus’s worst fear: his daughter has died. Jesus curiously ignores their message and reassures Jairus. When they arrive at Jairus’s 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’s faith in Jesus has not been in vain; his daughter is restored to life. 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time / 13 domingo de tiempo ordinario 2021 (Year B/ Ano B) The contrasts between Jairus and the woman with the hemorrhage are stark and revealing. One is a man, the other is a woman. One is a Special Congratulations to our public official, an important person in the community. The other is a woman who has lost everything to find a cure to a condition that Graduates: separated her from the community. One approaches Jesus publicly. The other approaches Jesus secretly. Yet in each case, faith leads them to seek out Jesus in their time of need. Middle/ Junior High School Michael Ihedioha The Gospel concludes with Jesus’ instructions to remain silent about this miracle. This is typical of Mark’s Gospel and is Chinazaekpere Ruth Ihezuo sometimes referred to as the messianic secret.
