St. Dominic Catholic Church THIRTEENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME

Houston, TX July 1, 2018

Dear Friends in St. Dominic This Sunday, we continue to read from the Gospel of Mark. Last Sunday we heard about Jesus calming the storm, the first of four miracles that Jesus performs in the vicinity of the Sea of Galilee. Each of these four miracle stories offers us a glimpse at Jesus’ power. This week we hear about the third and fourth miracles, skipping the second miracle, the healing of a man from Gerasene who was possessed by a demon. Today’s Gospel reports two stories of healing. One story tells us about a father’s great love for his dying daughter. The other story tells us about a desperate woman who risks much as she seeks healing from Jesus. In each story, the request for healing is itself a courageous act of faith, and yet very different circumstances are represented by the lives of each suffering person. Jairus is described as a synagogue official, a man of considerable standing in the Jewish community. Distraught over his daughter’s poor health, he approaches Jesus and asks him to heal her. Although Mark does not provide many details, we can imagine that his daughter has been ill for some time and that her condition is deteriorating. As Jesus leaves with Jairus, Mark describes a second person who seeks healing from Jesus, a woman with a hemorrhage. This woman secretly touches Jesus from behind and is immediately cured. In response, Jesus turns and asks who touched him. Jesus’ disciples, always a little clueless in Mark’s Gospel, help us envision the scene. The crowds are pushing in on Jesus, and yet he, knowing that power has gone out of him, asks who touched him. The woman could have remained anonymous, yet at Jesus’ question she steps forward and acknowledges what she has done. Jesus responds by acknowledging her as a model of faith and sends her away in peace. At this point, we can imagine Jairus’s impatience with Jesus; his daughter is dying and Jesus has not helped him yet. As if to build a sense of urgency, messengers suddenly arrive and confirm Jairus’s worst fear: his daughter has died. Jesus curiously ignores their message and reassures Jairus. When they arrive at Jairus’s home, they find family and friends mourning the girl’s death. Jesus enters the room of the dead girl, takes her by the hand, and instructs her to arise. Jairus’s faith in Jesus has not been in vain; his daughter is restored to life. The contrasts between Jairus and the woman with the hemorrhage are stark and revealing. One is a man, the other is a woman. One is a public official, an important person in the community. The other is a woman who has lost everything to find a cure to a condition that separated her from the community. One approaches Jesus publicly. The other approaches Jesus secretly. Yet in each case, faith leads them to seek out Jesus in their time of need. The Gospel concludes with Jesus’ instructions to remain silent about this miracle. This is typical of Mark’s Gospel and is sometimes referred to as the messianic secret. Repeatedly, those who witness Jesus’ power and authority are instructed to not speak of what they have witnessed. These instructions appear impossible to obey, and it is difficult to understand the purpose of these instructions. But in each case, they seem to emphasize the fact that each individual, including the reader of Mark’s Gospel, must, in the end, make his or her own judgment about Jesus’ identity. Each individual must make his or her own act of faith in affirming Jesus as God’s Son. Sincerely yours in Christ Rev. Roger Estorque

Queridos Amigos en San Dominic, Este domingo, continuamos leyendo del Evangelio de Marcos. El domingo pasado escuchamos sobre Jesús calmando la tormenta, el primero de los cuatro milagros que Jesús realiza en las cercanías del Mar de Galilea. Cada una de estas cuatro historias de milagros nos ofrece un vistazo al poder de Jesús. Esta semana escuchamos acerca del tercer y cuarto milagros, omitiendo el segundo milagro, la curación de un hombre de Gerasene que estaba poseído por un demonio. El Evangelio de hoy informa dos historias de curación. Una historia nos cuenta sobre el gran amor de un padre por su hija moribunda. La otra historia nos cuenta acerca de una mujer desesperada que arriesga mucho cuando busca la sanidad de Jesús. En cada historia, la solicitud de curación es en sí misma un valiente acto de fe, y sin embargo, las vidas de cada persona que sufre representan circunstancias muy diferentes. Jairo es descrito como un funcionario de la sinagoga, un hombre de considerable prestigio en la comunidad judía. Angustiado por la mala salud de su hija, se acerca a Jesús y le pide que la sane. Aunque Mark no proporciona muchos detalles, podemos imaginar que su hija ha estado enferma por algún tiempo y que su condición se está deteriorando. Cuando Jesús se va con Jairo, Marcos describe a una segunda persona que busca la sanidad de Jesús, una mujer con una hemorragia. Esta mujer toca secretamente a Jesús desde atrás y se cura de inmediato. En respuesta, Jesús se da vuelta y pregunta quién lo tocó. Los discípulos de Jesús, siempre un poco desorientados en el Evangelio de Marcos, nos ayudan a visualizar la escena. Las multitudes están presionando a Jesús, y sin embargo, él, sabiendo que ese poder ha salido de él, pregunta quién lo tocó. La mujer podría haber permanecido en el anonimato, pero a la pregunta de Jesús ella da un paso al frente y reconoce lo que ha hecho. Jesús responde reconociéndola como un modelo de fe y la envía en paz. En este punto, podemos imaginar la impaciencia de Jairo con Jesús; su hija se está muriendo y Jesús aún no lo ha ayudado. Como para crear un sentido de urgencia, los mensajeros de repente llegan y confirman el peor temor de Jairo: su hija ha muerto. Jesús curiosamente ignora su mensaje y tranquiliza a Jairo. Cuando llegan a la casa de Jairo, encuentran a familiares y amigos que lloran la muerte de la niña. Jesús entra a la habitación de la niña muerta, la toma de la mano y la instruye para que se levante. La fe de Jairo en Jesús no ha sido en vano; su hija es restaurada a la vida. Los contrastes entre Jairo y la mujer con la hemorragia son severos y reveladores. Uno es un hombre, el otro es una mujer. Uno es un funcionario público, una persona importante en la comunidad. La otra es una mujer que ha perdido todo para encontrar una cura para una enfermedad que la separaba de la comunidad. Uno se acerca a Jesús públicamente. El otro se acerca a Jesús en secreto. Sin embargo, en cada caso, la fe los lleva a buscar a Jesús en su momento de necesidad. El Evangelio concluye con las instrucciones de Jesús de guardar silencio acerca de este milagro. Esto es típico del Evangelio de Marcos y algunas veces se lo conoce como el secreto mesiánico. Repetidamente, aquellos que atestiguan el poder y la autoridad de Jesús son instruidos a no hablar de lo que han presenciado. Estas instrucciones parecen imposibles de obedecer, y es difícil entender el propósito de estas instrucciones. Pero en cada caso, parecen enfatizar el hecho de que cada individuo, incluido el lector del Evangelio de Marcos, debe, al final, hacer su propio juicio sobre la identidad de Jesús. Cada individuo debe hacer su propio acto de fe al afirmar a Jesús como el Hijo de Dios. ¡Atentamente suyo en Cristo Rev. Roger Estorque
