Inquire at the sacristy.* Page 2 Exegesis Mark 5:21-43 For today s Gospel, we continue to read from the Gospel of Mark. Last Sunday we heard about Jesus calming the storm, the first of four miracles that Jesus performs in the vicinity of the Sea of Galilee. Each of these four miracle stories offers us a glimpse at Jesus power. This week we hear about the third and fourth miracles, skipping the second miracle, the healing of a man from Gerasene who was possessed by a demon. Today s Gospel reports two stories of healing. One story tells us about a father s great love for his dying daughter. The other story tells us about a desperate woman who risks much as she seeks healing from Jesus. In each story, the request for healing is itself a courageous act of faith, and yet very different circumstances are represented by the lives of each suffering person. Jairus is described as a synagogue official, a man of considerable standing in the Jewish community. Distraught over his daughter s poor health, he approaches Jesus and asks him to heal her. Although Mark doesn t provide many details, we can imagine that his daughter has been ill for some time and that her condition is deteriorating. As Jesus leaves with Jairus, Mark describes a second person who seeks healing from Jesus, a woman with a hemorrhage. This woman secretly touches Jesus from behind and is immediately cured. In response, Jesus turns and asks who touched him. Jesus disciples, always a little clueless in Mark s Gospel, help us envision the scene. The crowds are pushing in on Jesus, and yet he, knowing that power has gone out of him, asks who touched him. The woman could have remained anonymous, yet at Jesus question she steps forward and acknowledges what she has done. Jesus responds by acknowledging her as a model of faith and sends her away in peace. At this point, we can imagine Jairus s impatience with Jesus; his daughter is dying and Jesus hasn t helped him yet. As if to build a sense of urgency, messengers suddenly arrive and confirm Jairus s worst fear: his daughter has died. Jesus curiously ignores their message and reassures Jairus. When they arrive at Jairus s home, they find family and friends mourning the girl s death. Jesus enters the room of the dead girl, takes her by the hand, and instructs her to arise. Jairus s faith in Jesus has not been in vain; his daughter is restored to life. The contrasts between Jairus and the woman with the hemorrhage are stark and revealing. One is a man, the other is a woman. One is a public official, an important person in the community. The other is a woman who has lost everything to find a cure to a condition that separated her from the community. One approaches Jesus publicly. The other approaches Jesus secretly. Yet in each case, faith leads them to seek out Jesus in their time of need. The Gospel concludes with Jesus instructions to remain silent about this miracle. This is typical of Mark s Gospel and is sometimes referred to as the messianic secret. Repeatedly, those who witness Jesus power and authority are instructed to not speak of what they have witnessed. These instructions appear impossible to obey, and it is difficult to understand the purpose of these instructions. But in each case, they seem to emphasize the fact that each individual, including the reader of Mark s Gospel, must, in the end, make his or her own judgment about Jesus identity. Each individual must make his or her own act of faith in affirming Jesus as God s Son. Loyolapress.com

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION As Independence Day draws near, we think of the men and women of the military who serve with courage and competence, some far from home. How does the Church accompany them? In 1939, Pope Pius XII created an independent jurisdiction of the Catholic Church called the Military Vicariate. In 1985 Pope John Paul II created the Archdiocese for Military Services, USA. Spanning the globe and serving nearly one and a half million Roman Catholics, more than one thousand priests minister in hospitals, on military bases of all the armed forces, on ships at sea, and on the battlefield. The AMS does not ordain priests, but accepts priests on loan from religious orders and dioceses. In 1824 a Jesuit priest named Adam Marshall enlisted in the Navy and died at sea in 1825. He was assigned as a schoolmaster, but he sought out and ministered to Catholic sailors. Twenty years later, President Polk was worried that the war with Mexico was seen as anti-catholic, so he recruited two Jesuit priests to serve in the army as chaplains. At the time of the Civil War, only about ten percent of Americans were Catholic. Military policies forced Catholic soldiers to attend Protestant services. The Church protested this rule, and many priests volunteered to become chaplains. Their witness and the courage of the Nuns of the Battlefield (several orders of sisters who assisted Civil War victims) helped temper prejudice against Catholics and pave the way for the life and ministry of this vigorous and unique archdiocese.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Esta semana conmemoramos al apóstol santo Tomás, el cual es normalmente recordado por haber dudado de la resurrección de Jesucristo. La incredulidad de este santo es explicada en el Evangelio según san Juan (20:19 31) con la famosa frase: Si no veo en sus manos la señal de los clavos y no meto mi dedo en el agujero de los clavos y no meto mi mano en su costado, no creeré. Los latinos somos de culturas religiosas que consideran la incredulidad como algo pecaminoso y camino al ateísmo. Hay que aceptar que la duda es algo normal en el ser humano. Dudo que exista alguien que nunca haya dudado de su fe. Sólo al aceptar esta duda estaremos abiertos a la invitación de Jesús: Acerca aquí tu dedo y mira mis manos; trae tu mano y métela en mi costado, y no seas incrédulo sino creyente. Santo Tomás aceptó esta invitación y llegó a su gran proclamación de fe: Señor mío, y Dios mío. La duda no es mala, para muchos es el camino a una fe más profunda y a un compromiso mayor.
