AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DIED RECENTLY

Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. Amen Better that only a few Catholics should be left, staunch and sincere in their religion, than that they should, remaining many, desire as it were, to be in collusion with the Church’s enemies and in conformity with the open foes of our faith. St. Peter Canisius S.J.

FROM THE DESK OF FR. MIZZI-GILI \ 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time

June 28, 2015

Greetings to All! As I said in my homily last week, faith is the theme that pervades throughout the readings especially the Gospel. The Gospel of Mark gives us two particular stories regarding the faith of two people. On His way to visit Jairus’ daughter, Jesus is walking with a large crowd around Him to see what HE was going to do. It is in the crowd that our Lord encounters the hemorrhagic woman. Her faith was so deep, that she knew if only she touched the clothing of Christ, she would be healed. The Gospel tells us that “Jesus realizing that power had gone out from him,” means that He knew someone was healed (the Gospels relates that Jesus asked, “who touched me”). What we need to remember, is that Jesus is also divine not just human, so of course He knows who touched Him. He tells her, “Daughter, your faith has saves you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.” After He speaks with the woman, Jesus hears that Jairus’ daughter has died but disregards the message and proceeds to the house. He tells Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just have faith.” Christ gets to the house, raises her from the dead, gives strict instructions not to say anything to anyone who is not there, and here it is, He tells the child’s mother and father to give her something to eat. This is to reassure all concerned that only those who are living can eat. Both of these stories represent faith of those in Christ, even if there is a little questioning. What is needed is for us to say to our Lord, I believe. Pope Saint John Paul II had always been quoted in saying do not be afraid. He was, after all, reiterating the words of Christ. Our Lord is saying to all of us, “Do not be afraid, just have faith.” May we have the conviction of faith to stand up and say I believe and pray; I will praise you Lord, for you have rescued me. God Bless You! Buona Domenica! Good Sunday!
