Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

27 June 2021<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2018Talitha Cum\u2019<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In today\u2019s Gospel we hear two healing stories: Jairus\u2019 daughter and the woman with a haemorrhage. At first glance these stories might not seem to have a lot in common. The woman is a complete social outcast because of her condition, yet Jesus calls her \u2018daughter\u2019. He does not let social convention dictate who can be called a child of God. Jesus reminds the people of this woman\u2019s true identity. The synagogue official surprises us, pleasantly, with his faith in Jesus and his message. What these two characters have in common is faith against all the odds as they reach out to Jesus in faith-filled action. There are those in the story who laugh when Jesus says he can bring back Jairus\u2019 daughter. They are sent away. Jesus\u2019 healing breaks down the barriers that isolate us from one another and from God.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We can all recall times when we were struggling. We needed something to move us, to help us forgive, to help us walk away or to relieve us of physical pain. In the end it can be the simple gestures that save us: a kind word, someone praying for us, a gentle touch or we reach out to someone and like the woman with the haemorrhage we suddenly feel within ourselves that we are healing. These accounts show us something of how God\u2019s grace can enter our lives and transform situations.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mark leaves untranslated Jesus\u2019 native language when he restores the young girl to life: \u2018Talitha cum\u2019 \u2013 a beautiful phrase meaning: \u2018Little girl, get up!\u2019. Jairus\u2019 daughter has been given new life; the woman has also been given new life. Both have overcome barriers that were keeping them from being free. We know what those barriers are for each of us. God\u2019s grace is gentle yet can bring life to situations of death. What do you need healing from today? Bring this to prayer.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n
