7 6 0 1 V I N E L I N C O L N, N E B R A S K A 6 8 5 0 5 ST. JOHN THE APOSTLE The story of the two touches (Mk 5:21-43) This Sunday, the Evangelist Mark presents to us the account of BI miraculous cures which Jesus worked for two women: the daughter of one of the elders of the synagogue whose name was Jairus, and a woman who was suffering from a hemorrhage (cf. Mk 5:21-43). These two episodes can be interpreted at two levels; the purely physical Jesus bends over human suffering and heals the body; and the spiritual level: Jesus came to heal human hearts, to give salvation, and asks for faith in him. In the first episode, in fact, on hearing that Jairus little daughter was dead, Jesus tells the ruler of the Synagogue. Do not fear, only believe (v. 36). He takes the child s father with him to the room where the child is lying and exclaims: Little girl, I say to you, arise (v. 41). And she rose and walked. St. Jerome commented on these words, underlining Jesus saving power: Little girl, stand up for my sake, not for your own merit but for my grace. Therefore get up for me: being healed does not depend on your own virtues (Homily on the Gospel according to Mark, 3). The second episode, that of the woman with the hemorrhage, highlights once again that Jesus came to save the human being in his totality. Indeed, the miracle takes place in two phases: 1) first comes the physical healing, but this is closely linked with 2) the second and deeper healing, the healing which God s grace gives to those who open themselves to him with faith. Jesus says: Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease (Mk5:34). These two stories of healing invite us to go beyond a purely horizontal and materialistic vision of life. We ask God to: 1) heal so many problems, our practical needs, and this is right, but what we 2) must ask him for insistently is an ever firmer faith, so that the Lord may renew our life, as well as firm trust in his love, in his Providence that never abandons us. Jesus who is attentive to human suffering also makes us think of all those who help the sick to carry their cross, particularly doctors, health-care workers and all the people who guarantee religious assistance in clinics and hospitals. They are reserves of love, who bring serenity and hope to the suffering. Let us ask the Virgin Mary to accompany our journey of faith and our commitment of real love, especially for the needy, as we invoke her motherly intercession for our brothers and sisters experiencing suffering in body or in spirit.

In the name of the past, present, and future members of St. John s, THANK YOU. Congrats, to our St. John s Altar Boys again: The altar server occupies a privileged place in the celebration of Mass at St. John s. He who serves at Mass, presents himself to our St. John s community. He experiences firsthand that Jesus Christ is present and active in every liturgical act. Jesus is present when the community comes together to pray and render praise to God. Jesus is present in the Word of sacred Scripture. Jesus is present above all in the Eucharist under the signs of bread and wine. He acts through the priest who, in the person of Christ, celebrates the holy Mass and administers the sacraments. Therefore, in the liturgy, you are much more than simple "helpers of the parish priest." Above all, you are servers of Jesus Christ, of the eternal High Priest. Thus, you, altar servers, are called in particular to be young friends of Jesus. Be determined to go deeper and to cultivate this friendship with him. You will discover that in Jesus you have found a true friend for life. The altar server often has a candlestick in his hand. How can one not think of that which Jesus says in the Sermon on the Mount: "You are the light of the world" (Matthew 5:14). Your service cannot be limited to the inside of a church. It must shine in everyday life: in school, in the family, and in different realms of society. In gratitude for our altar servers, our Knights at St. John s took 31 of St. John s 80-some altar servers and 17 big people and brother Knights to a Saltdogs game. The altar servers and us priests-types at St. John s want to thank the Knights and the altar servers for loving/serving St. John s. f Please pray for: Sister Fiat Marie Eller who has made her first vows is from St. Mary s parish, David City, NE for School Sisters of Christ the King Sister John Marion Feldman who has made her 1st Vows is from Prince of Peace parish in Kearney, NE for School Sisters of Christ the King.
