He took the child by the hand and said to her,
"Talitha koum," which means, "Little girl, I say
to
you, arise!" The girl, a child of twelve, arose
immediately and walked around. At that they were
utterly astounded. - Mk 5:41-42

Discuss
the Gospel at Home:
One of the most important elements to our relationship with
God is how we view Him, our image of Him. …In this Gospel
passage, we see how Jesus, the Second Person of the Trinity,
is concerned with our daily well-being and healing. In this
Sunday’s Gospel, we have a miracle ‘sandwich’,
in which
Jesus performs two healings. The two people with great faith
in this passage are Jairus and the woman with the hemorrhage.
After seeking a cure in so many ways, she had the faith to pursue
Jesus. To have faith in Him is a gift that only Jesus can give
us, but is a gift that calls for our response. The response
that Jesus wants from us is total trust in Him. Jairus put His
faith in Jesus, and Jesus brought back his daughter from death
Imagine how this encounter with the Lord would have changed
the lives of those healed – and those who witnessed the
healings. Rarely does God provide these types of healings in
our day, but nonetheless He is concerned with our ultimate healing
(in heaven) and our ability to have complete trust in Him –
even when we are suffering. May we learn from this Gospel that
placing our faith in Jesus will always be the right
decision. There are many elements in our society that are trying
to take our faith away from Jesus. May we have the grace to
keep focused on Jesus, and turn to Him with trust and confidence.
www.ymcentral.com Discussion: Parents discuss ways in which
you have placed your faith in Jesus. Or perhaps you could ask
children to identify a person in your family or extended family
who shows great trust and confidence in Jesus.
