Mt 9:18-26

Two healing miracles are intertwined in the Gospel today. Faith is central to both, the faith of the ruler whose daughter has died and the faith of the woman who has suffered for so long with an illness that separates her from community. Jesus acknowledges both and answers their plea.

Unless we set up our own criteria, which we often do, for your answer to our prayers, we strive to believe you know what is best for each one of us.
