Father Emanuel Tanu SVD God is Good all the time! And all the time God is Good. 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
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.
Jairus is described as a synagogue official, a man of considerable
standing in the Jewish community. Distraught over his
daughter’s poor health, he approaches Jesus and asks him to heal
her. 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
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.
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 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 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.
So, whatever problem, sickness and your situation is right now;
you may have been “sick, bleeding and dying” like the woman
and the little girl in today’s gospel, the good news is, Jesus is still
working his miracles today. So, never,--ever lose your hope, never
lose your faith–for indeed our God is always bigger than your
problems. All things are possible with God. All you need to do is
reach out to Jesus and a miracle can be yours today. Our Lady Star of the Sea Pray for us.
