Reflections on the Sunday Readings

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - June 28, 2009
By: Father Vamos

All of us have found ourselves in impossible situations. What should we do? To whom should we turn? Jesus gives us the answer. We can trust in him. When our world seems upside down, when we seem unable to do anything right, when we are afraid of what tomorrow may bring, we can trust in him.

Faith in Jesus brings healing and life. The worried father, Jairus, bowed before Jesus and asked him to heal his twelve year old child. “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.” Kneeling on the dusty ground before Jesus, Jairus spoke a beautiful prayer for help. And Jesus answered his plea. May we, too, reach out in trust to Jesus and welcome his healing presence into our lives.
