During
the Lenten Season we come closer to Jesus. We want to touch him and be cured
from our weaknesses and sins. If our relatives and friends are in need, we also
ask for them.
Crowds
always gathered around Jesus, but only a few people could experience their
healing. What was special about Jairus and a woman afflicted with hemorrhages?
Jairus
came forward and fell at the feet of Jesus. He went out from the crowds. He wasn't
afraid of sharing in public about his daughter's condition.
But we
are often shy to express our needs and troubles. We prefer to talk about our
successes and joys. We do not like to share our problems and
difficulties. We are not humble enough to talk about our true feelings and
suffering.
For that
reason, we can learn a lot from the brave man Jairus. Also, an afflicted woman
can encourage us. We do not have to hide our worries for a long time. We should
open our hearts and ask Jesus to lay his hands on us. Only in this way we can
get well and start to live again.
We are
fragile humans who suffered greatly at the hands and words of others. We were disappointed
and left alone when it happened. So now we can become wiser and more prudent
because we heard the Good News.
Moreover,
he touched us many times through other people. He taught us through the
Scriptures and healed us through the ministry of the Church. We can be cured by
him immediately and preach the goodness of our Lord forever and ever.
