Read St. Mark, Chapter 5
21 When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered around him; and he was by the sea. 22 Then one of the leaders of the synagogue named Jairus came and, when he saw him, fell at his feet 23 and begged him repeatedly, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live." 24 So he went with him.
Jesus travelled from one side of the Lake to the other. As he went, people followed him on foot. He cast out demons, he laid hands on a dead girl and a woman touched his robes and was healed. What do people want from Jesus today? Some want to be healed, still. Others want to live at peace with family members and with others in the world. We seek justice and in the core of our soul we want to touch what is holy and righteous. Jesus still offers to drive out the demons and restore us to wholeness. May his Church be faithful in prayer and ministry in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
