THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 1, 2018

sbchurchbrooklyn@aol.com

JULY 1, 2018 2 SAINT BERNARD

Mark holds up both Jairus and the unnamed woman in today’s gospel as models of faith. The message of the two healings is clear: “Do not be afraid; just have faith.” The chronically ill woman is convinced that Jesus not only can help her but will help her that she fights her way through the pushing and shoving crowds just to touch the cloak of Jesus. She realizes not only the power of Jesus to heal her but the depth of his love and compassion to want to heal her. Her faith is rewarded. Jairus was a man of considerable authority and stature in the Jewish community. Yet, for the sake of his daughter, he puts aside his pride and his instinctive distrust of this itinerant rabbi to become a “beggar” for her before Jesus. Despite the ridicule of the mourners and the depth of his despair, Jesus is Jairus’s hope. In Mark’s narrative, the raising or Jairus’s daughter anticipates Jesus’ resurrection. The love and the mercy of God transcend death to reach into our own time and place.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.) is a process by which a person prepares to become a

member of the Roman Catholic Church. The process is one of inquiry, evangelization, prayer, study and

conversion, leading to one’s entrance into the church through Baptism, Confirmation and the Eucharist. RCIA

welcomes the unbaptized as well as those baptized in other Christian traditions. RCIA also welcomes those who have been baptized Catholic but who have not

completed their sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation.

Anyone who is interested in participating in this program is asked to call the Rectory NOW and speak to

Deacon Frank.
