13th SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME

Woman-touching-Jesus-Cloak

Gospel Bullet Points (Mark 5:21-43)

  • The hemorrhaged woman was unwavering to go near Jesus and to touch just even His clothes. She was really resolute and was expecting something to happen when she approached to touch the clothes of Jesus. And she was healed after twelve years of suffering.
  • . The healing happened because of the woman’s faith as she touched the clothes of Jesus. Here we see the power of Jesus that healed the woman. Touching just even His clothes can bring healing if one has unwavering faith.
  • Behind the story of the hemorrhaged woman is this lesson: in our desperate and difficult moments, the Lord is there for us. Trust in Him and leave the rest in his loving arms.  
  • If Jesus were to pass your way today, would you also touch his clothes with faith so He will respond to you in love?
