4 WORD OF LIFE Human dignity is the same for all human beings: when I trample on the dignity of another, I am trampling on my own. Pope Francis, Message for the Lenten Brotherhood Campaign in Brazil Libreria Editrice Vaticana. 13TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Today's Gospel offers a rare framework a story in a story. Most of the healing miracles are standalone encounters. One person approaches Jesus, demonstrates faith, and is healed. The evangelist tells the next story. This Gospel, however, is different. Jesus is on his way to heal one person, a young girl of twelve, and is interrupted on his journey by "a woman afflicted with hemorrhages." She bravely approaches Jesus in a crowd, despite being ritually unclean from her bleeding, and stretches out to touch his cloak. She is healed! Jesus meets her eye, confirms her faith, and continues on to resurrect the young girl. Reading this passage, it might be easier to identify with one story the long-suffering woman or the young, innocent girl and to move past the other. But here they sit side by side. The girl is twelve. The woman has been suffering for twelve years. For the Gospel writers, number parallels have deep symbolic meaning. Between the woman and the young girl, we are not one or the other. We are both. None of us had a perfect childhood, perfect families, or a perfect peer group. As we endure pain, disappointment, or unmet expectations, it can feel like a part of our childhood hopes have died. Our coping mechanisms, social adaptations, and hidden secrets can make us the "walking wounded" in some respects. Jesus wants to do more than simply staunch the bleeding. His healing hand makes dead things come alive. He awakens the dreams that are asleep. This process requires prayer, conversations with trusted community and spiritual mentors, and critical looks at difficult areas of our life. However, we can believe the words of our Lord. If we approach Jesus in faith, believing that he wants to heal and save, we, too, will hear his calming words spoken over the hurts of our life. "I say to you, arise!" "Go in peace." PROTECTING GOD'S CHILDREN The Diocese of Joliet has a vigorous program to train those who work with our children called Protecting God's Children. The safety and protection of children against any form of abuse is of the highest priority for us. All coaches, volunteers, and employees who work with the children of St. Jude Parish are required to attend a Protecting God's Children Seminar and submit to a background check. Compliance prior to participating is mandatory per the Diocese of Joliet. If you plan to be a volunteer during the school year or would like more information, please contact Sue Serra at richsue73@sbcglobal.net, Subject: St. Jude or (815) Child & Youth Protection Reporting Sexual Abuse Anyone with reason to believe that a child has been abused or is being abused should report their suspicions to civil authorities. Contact: Illinois Department of Children and Family Services at ABUSE ( ) or the local police. 4A Church of St. Jude Joliet, IL 60436
