Devotions
Living the Paschal Mystery
Medical professionals were rare in the ancient world. We almost
take them for granted today. But for those in antiquity who suffered
from one ailment or another, their lives were often destined for suf-
fering and to be on the margins. We are not surprised to know that
life spans were much shorter in the ancient world without access to
medicine, proper care, or in some cases sanitary conditions. Despite
all of our advances in medicine, human beings are still subject to
death. We have not conquered that, but only delayed it.
Jesus’ own power is expressed by stories of curing the woman with
the hemorrhage and raising the dead. Jesus restores human beings to
a full, active, and healthy life in one story. He literally raises the
dead to life again in another. If he and his power can do these
things, we should be paying attention. We will find later in the gos-
pel that there is more to his ministry than grand displays of power.
There will be the necessary suffering to death.
Once that aspect of his ministry is revealed, many if not most of his
followers will fall away. It might not be too difficult to imagine
following someone who raises the dead. It’s quite another to see that
same one put to death.
When we encounter moments of pain, suffering, and even the death
of loved ones, it is good to remember that we follow one who seeks
to restore, who seeks to raise the dead to life again. That is our com-
mon Christian hope. -Living Liturgy

Marriage Moments Independence is an important step on the journey to adulthood,
but marriage also requires dependence. I depend on you to keep your
word, to be there when I'm feeling hurt, to watch the kids so I can
have a break. How do you depend on one another?
Parenting Pointers
We inherit both physical and personality traits from our par-
ents. It can be a source of parental pride, but also consternation. Talk
with your child about what strengths and weaknesses they might
have received from you.
