Sunday of the Hemorrhaging Woman
March 8th, 2009
أحد المنزوفة
Gospel: Luke 8: 40 – 56 Readings: 2 Corinthians 7: 4 – 11
The illness of the hemorrhaging woman is personal. She suffers from it by herself. It is not obvious to others. She keeps thinking about a solution for her condition, which is not known and does not put others at risk. Jesus’ passage where “They were waiting for him” was for her a new change to be healed.
She approached him with faith and touched him asking for a healing. The divinity of the Savior protects everyone according to his need, unlike Peter who was taken by the crowd.
For this reason Jesus answered the hemorrhaging woman who asked to be cured in her heart. The contact is an important factor in the healing. She felt the power that restored her back to health.
We have to get close to the Lord to feel his presence. Jesus’ reaction is educational. He wanted to show that faith is the reason for the healing.
Jesus wants us to have faith not to use it to be cured. Our personal experience with the Lord should reflect the true love of God for his children.

Prayer of Peace
Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS, for they shall be known as the children of God.
Jesus gave us a way to live in peace: Love your enemies, and do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you and pray for those who abuse you.
And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. Amen.
