“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32)

Living the Gospel this week.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32)

      Compassion

Jesus reveals his compassion to the woman and to the synagogue’s official. Jesus is caring and concerned about those who seek him in faith. He stops what he's doing to acknowledge the woman's faith and heal her instantly. Think of Jesus stopping everything he is doing to focus on you this week.

Spiritual salvation

The woman was instantly "healed" or "saved". This indicates that she also received spiritual salvation. Jesus wants us to be restored to a right relationship with God for eternity, not just physical healing.

Let us pray with the words of St Paul: “Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.” (1 Thessalonians 5:23.)

Happy Sunday 13th Sunday! Happy priestly anniversary to Fr. Gee!!!
