REWARDING SUPERSTITION AND THEFT (Mark 5:21-43): 28 June 2009 (Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time)
Dear Lord Jesus,
We have not one but two healing stories in today’s Gospel passage, but the first–involving the woman afflicted with a twelve-year hemorrhage–strikes me. She fights her way through that crowd around you, and perhaps having no other way of connecting with you, reaches out to touch…your clothes.
