For 8 July 2024, Monday of week 14 in Ordinary Time, based on Matthew 9:18-26
While Jesus was speaking to the crowds, suddenly a leader of the synagogue came in and knelt before him, saying, ‘My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.’ And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples. Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from haemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak, for she said to herself, ‘If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well.’ Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, ‘Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.’ And instantly the woman was made well. When Jesus came to the leader’s house and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a commotion, he said, ‘Go away; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.’ And they laughed at him. But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up. And the report of this spread throughout that district.

Thanks Connie
These times are certainly putting our faith to the test. I needed to be reminded that God is with us.

Thank you Connie, for the reminder that like Jairus we are invited to pray in faith for the healing of our broken world, and to believe that healing is possible, even in the apparently hopeless ills of today.
