LIFE-GIVING TOUCH | The Word Exposed with Cardinal Tagle (June 30, 2024)

We are on the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, in today’s Gospel, Saint Mark presents two people seeking healing. The first is the synagogue official Jairus who, seeing Jesus in Galilee, knelt and pleaded that Jesus might lay his hands on his dying daughter. The other is an unnamed “woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years.” When she heard about Jesus, she found her way through the crowd and “touched his cloak.” The woman was instantaneously healed, and was sent by the Lord to “go in peace.” The daughter of Jairus, on the other hand, was already pronounced dead when he and Jesus arrived at his home. But the Lord, holding her hand, called—“Little girl, I say to you, arise!”—and she rose and walked. Friends, Jairus and the woman are like many of us. Let us allow Jesus to touch us. And let us not hesitate to touch him.
