GOSPEL MT 9:18-26
One of the most meaningful stories of the Gospels has been for me the healing of the woman with a hemorrhage.
It speaks to the power of reaching out to God for help when we realize that we are broken human beings in need of healing.
If we use this story to understand our spiritual, we can see that our sins against Christ cause a hemorrhage of the soul, stealing from us the life-blood of grace given to us freely by God.
But like this woman, we have hope; we have but to reach out to Him, Our Lord, who wishes to cleanse us and heal us of all our sinfulness.
The result will be such a gift that surpasses what this world can offer: it will be the gift of His undying love and constant care.
The warm embrace from the One Who knows our needs infinitely better than we can.
It means that we will be espoused to righteousness and justice; love and mercy.
And all we have to do is reach out to Him and believe
