- 0:31that entertain, teach and lift the soul. Good morning, 13th Sunday of
- 0:42Ordinary Time and we read the Gospel of Mark about the healing of the daughter
- 0:48of Jairus and of the hemorrhoic woman at today' s dinner two people who
- 0:54outwardly seemed very different distant, but deep down, in the suffering that each
- 1:02one carried, weave meeting points. Only one Jairus appears in the short version
- 1:10of the Gospel. In the longer version, the hemorrhoid woman also appears.
- 1:17In what they look different Jairus, the head of the synagogue and the woman
- 1:22hemorrhoise. First, the provinence and status of the protagonists. Jairo is an
- 1:30influential person and has a lot of money, while the woman is poor and
- 1:37in an economically tragic and socially rejected situation. Jesus does not favor one over
- 1:47another, nor does he refuse Jairus for his money and social level, nor
- 1:52does he ignore the woman because of her poverty or marginalization. Christ makes no
- 1:57distinctions of person, nor does pain or suffering, nor sickness or death.
- 2:07We' re all the same there. The evangelist tells us that Jairus was
- 2:13one of the principals of the synagogue of the Archsynagogues. At that time,
- 2:19the synagogues were practically closed to Jesus. They were vetoed. Jesus was a
- 2:25person non grata. We recalled that on the last time he had been in
- 2:30the Synagogue of Capernaun, the Pharisees joined the Herodians in order to destroy him
- 2:36because on a Sabbath in a chavad he had healed a man with a dry
- 2:40hand wept. Jairus, one of the chiefs of that same Synagogue of Caparnown,
- 2:47may turn to Jesus to heal his sick daughter. It is not difficult
- 2:53to imagine how difficult it had to be for him to ask Jesus for help
- 2:59at that time. Jairus, in doing so, could lose all reputation if
- 3:05his act of faith in Jesus came to the ears of the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem.
- 3:10Hemorrhoise is a woman who for twelve years has suffered permanent bleeding or her
- 3:16irregular and defective menstrual cycle. During the period of menstruation, the Jewish woman
- 3:23is considered impure from a religious point of view by bleeding, so this poor
- 3:30woman has been impure for twelve years every day of the year rejected as a
- 3:37leper, could not be touched. Whoever touched her was unclean. Moreover,
- 3:44as the book of Leviticus describes. She dirtys up the bed in which she
- 3:50sleeps and the chair in which she sits, and these objects then transmit her
- 3:54impurity to the one who stumps her given the ease with which a man could
- 4:00divorce his wife. It' s probably been a long time since her husband
- 4:05divorced her. Her condition of illness would make it impossible for her to find
- 4:12a partner or a job as a domestic servant. It is completely isolated from
- 4:17any social contact. Evicted as a leper. This kind of isolation must be
- 4:23almost inexhaustible for a person' s psychology. It is clear that this woman
- 4:29was an outsider, a person who doesn' t count for anyone, who
- 4:33didn' t belong to any group. Another difference between Jairus' daughter,
- 4:39between Jairus and the hemorrhoic woman, the notion of time for one and the
- 4:45other. Now that we see it' s time for the America Cup or
- 4:48the Euro Cup of football nations. We see how the feeling of time is
- 4:54very relative for the various teams. For the team that is losing and needs
- 4:59to throw away a goal, the clock advances too fast and despairs because it
- 5:04gives without minutes, has not a second to lose. On the contrary,
- 5:10for those who are winning and are disqualified if they receive a goal, time
- 5:15passes very slowly. The five minutes of the added time become eternal for one
- 5:19and a blink of an eye for others. Time, as Einstein said,
- 5:25is relative. The same is true of Jairo and hemorrhoise. For Jairus,
- 5:30time passes very fast, too fast. He runs out of forced marches and
- 5:35every second counts his daughter is dying. As Jesus slowly walks home. He
- 5:43would like to stop the clock from moving forward, for every second that goes
- 5:46forward takes away the life of his sick daughter and devours her hopes. In
- 5:50fact, it seems that Jesus arrives too late, because when he arrives at
- 5:56his home, his daughter is already dead for hemorrhosis. On the contrary,
- 6:01his illness and his condition of social and religious exclusion caused time to pass very
- 6:08slowly, providing him with much suffering, constant and perpetual agony. The woman
- 6:15considered that her situation was already unsustainable and, however, she was condemned one
- 6:19day after another to having to endure it as the myth of sisyph. Whoever
- 6:25was punished by the gods, had to push uphill over a mountain, a
- 6:30stone that, before reaching the top, rolled back down. That woman,
- 6:33the hemorrhoise, seemed punished by life, to carry the stone of her illness
- 6:39one day after another and to be disappointed in all her attempts to heal herself,
- 6:44leaving all her heritage in it. Unlike Jairo, who had a lot
- 6:50to lose. As she approached Jesus, the hemorrhoic woman lost nothing, she
- 6:56could only win, because losing had already lost all money, health and reputation.
- 7:01And that they resemble Jairus and the hemorrhoic woman, first they both have
- 7:09faith in the power of Jesus, and that faith leads them to do something
- 7:13that surely they would never have done of having another choice. Jairus, approach
- 7:18Jesus and ask him for help. That would never have happened, and the
- 7:24hemorrhoid woman would have approached and touched Jesus. She wouldn' t have done
- 7:29that either if she wasn' t so desperate. The morroísa' s gesture
- 7:32of approaching to play Jesus is not like it happens in rock music concerts,
- 7:38where all front- row fans want to play the singer and pounce on him
- 7:43as the moroise approaches. She did not really want to touch Jesus, for
- 7:49she was convinced. She thought that, when she was unclean, if she
- 7:55touched Jesus, she would contaminate him, she would harm Christ. Then the
- 8:01desire to heal and their faith that Jesus could heal her and respect Jesus'
- 8:05person were mixed in her because she did not want to defile him. That
- 8:11is why he chooses to touch Jesus as little as possible. The wave of
- 8:16his mantle so did not touch him, but I will obtain his healing power.
- 8:22It is not that he did not touch Jesus any more, but that
- 8:26he did not want to touch him any more so as not to pollute him.
- 8:30Both the case of the daughter of Jairus and that of the hemorrhoise deal
- 8:35with ritual impurity. The woman is not religiously clean because of her blood flow.
- 8:41The girl was not religiously clean because she was dead. Touching the girl
- 8:48goes against the law of the Torah, which makes her impure. As the
- 8:52Leviticus and Number Book explains. Whoever touches a dead body, that person should
- 8:58stay out of the field. But Jesus, as in the case of Peter
- 9:03' s mother- in- law, took her hand to restore her life.
- 9:07Jesus, not only imposes his hand on the girl, as Jairus wanted
- 9:11in the beginning, but touches the corpse, takes him by the hand,
- 9:16thus violating the law of purity. In ritual what Jesus’ action teaches us
- 9:22in the case of hemorrhosis. We can say that touching Jesus was to contaminate
- 9:30him with his impurity, but to the surprise of the woman and to the
- 9:35scandal of the rigorists of the law of purity. Instead of religious contamination entering
- 9:37into the person of Jesus, what happens is the reverse of his saving power,
- 9:45his purity and his healing and healing of the woman comes from him.
- 9:52We can actually see that there is no one who is too unworthy to approach
- 9:56God. Is there not any i i to go of nel that is so
- 10:01great as to contaminate God? In the case of the daughter of Jairus,
- 10:07we can expect to ask ourselves whether there was such a hurry why then Christ
- 10:13did not do as in the story of the centurion' s servant, in
- 10:18which with one word he sufficed to heal him immediately and telematically psophactously from the
- 10:26distance, thus avoiding the suffering of the suffering father because Jesus goes very slowly
- 10:31and does not reach the house and the same death of the girl. Perhaps
- 10:33Jesus wanted to take Jairus to a much deeper level of faith. For Jairus,
- 10:41Jesus could solve difficult cases, he could cure, but he could not
- 10:46resurrect a dead man. That was too much and Jesus helps him to deepen
- 10:52his faith. Not only can I cure a sick person, I can resurrect
- 10:56from death I can go even deeper. When Jesus seems to ignore us,
- 11:03perhaps he is wanting to lead us to a deeper level of relationship with him,
- 11:09to witness his saving action in areas we would never have imagined before.
- 11:13In both stories the Greek word, the Greek verb sozo is important to heal.
- 11:20Jesus tells the woman daughter your faith has been known to you who has
- 11:24saved you. Sozo. Saving may refer to healing or deliverance from danger,
- 11:31but in the Old Testament it is often used to refer to the salvation of
- 11:35the Israelites. The stories of the daughter of Jairus and the hemorrhoic woman are
- 11:41not only stories of healing healing, but also stories of salvation. Not only
- 11:48was the body healed, but the soul that God blesses you was saved.
