Dear Sisters and Brothers in the Lord: Recently Pope Francis wrote an observation on the story in Saint Mark’s Gospel (Mk.5:21-43) regarding the woman with the hemorrhage. It seems to me that we all ought to hear his words. “Within the narrative of (the raising of the daugh-ter of Jairus), Mark adds another: the healing of a woman who suffers from a hemorrhage and is healed as soon as she touches Jesus’ garment (5:27). Here, what is striking is the fact that this woman’s faith attracts—to me the word ‘robs’ comes to mind—the Divine Saving Power that is in Christ, Who, feeling that ‘power had gone out from Him,’ tried to understand who it was. And when the woman, with much shame, comes forward and confesses the whole truth, He tells her ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well.’” The two, Jairus and the unnamed woman, “show Jesus as the well-spring of life, as the One Who restores life to those who trust fully in Him. The two protago-nists, that is, the little girl’s father and the sick woman, are not disciples of Jesus yet they are satisfied through their faith. They have faith in That Man. From this we understand that all are permitted on the Lord’s path; no one should feel as an intruder, an interloper or one who has no right. To have access to His Heart, to Jesus’ Heart, there is only one requirement: to feel in need of

healing and to entrust yourself to Him. …Jesus goes to discover these people among the crowd and removes them from anonymity, frees them from the fear of living and of taking risks. He does so with a look and a word which sets them back on the path after much suffering and humiliation. We too are called to learn and to imitate these freeing words and this gaze which restores the will to live to those who lack it….When we feel we have a hardened heart, allow me to say a mummified heart, we should be afraid of this. This is the death of the heart. But sin too, the mummified heart too, is never the last word with Jesus, because He has brought us the infinite mercy of the Father….His ten-der and strong voices reaches us: ‘I say to you, arise!’” Jesus restores life and faith to both, just as He does to all who seek His merciful love and understanding. It is within the Sacrament of Reconciliation that Jesus can say to a burdened heart, especially a heart that appears deadened by sin, “I say to you arise!” Thankful for His loving kindness and forgiveness, may we never seek to remain far from the celebration of Divine Mercy that is ours for the asking within this gift of life and love.” Peace be with you, Monsignor

DESDE EL PASTOR

Queridas Hermanas y Hermanos en el Señor:

Recientemente el Papa Francisco escribió una observación sobre la historia en el Evangelio de San Marcos (Marcos 5: 21-43) con respecto a la mujer con la hemorragia. Me parece que todos debemos es-cuchar sus palabras.

"Dentro de la narración de (la resurrección de la hija de Jairo), Marcos agrega otra: la curación de una mujer que sufre de una hemorragia y se cura tan pronto como toca la vestimenta de Jesús (5:27). Aquí, lo que llama la atención es el hecho de que la fe de esta mujer atrae -para mí la palabra "roba" viene a la mente- el Poder Divino de Salvación que está en Cristo, que, sintiendo que "el poder había salido de Él", trató de entender quien era. Y cuando la mujer, con mucha vergüenza, se adelanta y confie-sa toda la verdad, le dice 'Hija, tu fe te ha sanado' ".

Los dos, Jairo y la mujer sin nombre, "muestran a Jesús como el manantial de la vida, como Aquel que restaura la vida a aquellos que confían plenamente en él. Los dos protagonistas, es decir, el padre de la niña y la mujer enferma, no son discípulos de Jesús, pero están satisfechos con su fe. Ellos tienen fe en ese hombre. De esto entendemos que todos están permitidos en el camino del Señor; nadie debería sen-tirse como un intruso, un intruso o alguien que no tiene el derecho. Para tener acceso a Su Corazón, al Corazón de Jesús, solo hay un requisito: sentir la necesidad de sanidad y confiarse a Él.

... Jesús va a descubrir a esta gente entre el mulitud y los quita del anonimato, los libera del miedo a la vida y de tomar riesgos. Lo hace con una mirada y una palabra que los vuelve a poner en el camino después de mucho sufrimiento y humillación. Nosotros también estamos llamados a aprender e imitar es-tas palabras liberadoras y esta mirada que restaura la voluntad de vivir para aquellos que carecen de el-la ... Cuando sentimos que tenemos un corazón endurecido, permítanme decir un corazón momificado, debemos tener miedo de esta. Esta es la muerte del corazón. Pero el pecado también, el corazón momifi-cado también, nunca es la última palabra con Jesús, porque Él nos ha traído la infinita misericordia del Padre ... Sus voces tiernas y fuertes nos alcanzan: '¡Te digo, levántate!' "

Jesús restaura vida y fe para ambos, así como lo hace para todos los que buscan su amor y com-prensión misericordiosos. Es dentro del sacramento de la Reconciliación que Jesús puede decir a un cora-zón cargado, especialmente un corazón que parece amortiguado por el pecado: "¡Te digo que te le-vantes!" Agradecidos por su amorosa bondad y perdón, que nunca busquemos permanecer lejos de la cel-ebración de la Divina Misericordia que es nuestra para pedir dentro de este don de la vida y el amor.”

La paz sea contigo, Monseñor
