Dear parish family,
13 Sunday A
Last Sunday, we hear Jesus rebuked the fearful disciples, “Do you not yet have faith?” Then he calms down
an angry sea to fortify their faith, manifesting to them that he is also Lord over the forces of nature. This
Sunday, the gospel shows that miracles happen not to induce faith, but in RESPONSE to faith.
At death’s apparent triumph over Jairus’ daughter, the crowd ridicules Jesus and Jairus faith. “Just
have faith,” Jesus counsels. Unlike Jairus’ faith which was clearly expressed, a nameless woman’s faith is
silent, content “but to touch Jesus clothes.” Nonetheless she was cured of her seemingly incurable illness.
“Daughter”, Jesus names her, “your faith has saved you.”
Then there are the thousands of small miracles that no-one knows about except for those concerned,
but which these people know are the work of the power of God. And if faith is so powerful, why do we have
such little faith on many occasions?
There is story within a story in the gospel reading worth to be noted. The crowd is pressing against
Jesus on every side and He asks, "Who touched me?" What can possibly be so important about the fact
that someone touched Him? He has spent all His entirely earthly ministry healing to blind and the lame.
People have been touching Him wherever He has gone and yet now He asks, "Who touched Me?
When we reach out to God in faith and believe that He will be there for us, it is at those times when
God will cry out once again, "Who touched Me?" St. Paul tells us that Christ is the power of God.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us that in the sacramental anointing of the sick, the
church brings to those who ask for it that very same healing touch of Jesus and a special gift of the Holy
Spirit. It provides the graces of "strengthening, peace and courage to overcome the difficulties that go with
the condition of serious illness or the frailty of old age," renewing "trust and faith in God" and strengthening
against the evil one's temptations to give in to "discouragement and anguish in the face of death."
We touch the Lord by our faith. And the Lord touches us back in response to our faith through the
sacraments He gave to the church. He touches us also in a deeply personal way by sending us the Holy
Spirit to sustain us on our earthly journey. In a more extended way, the Lord Jesus touches us through our
brothers and sisters when we serve one another in love. When we reach out to a brother or sister in need
we also give flesh to the power of God at work in their lives. But more importantly, let’s allow the Lord touch
the lives of others and experience the love of God through us.
Blessings to all and have a good week!
Fr. Tony
Querida familia parroquial,
13 Domingo A
El domingo pasado, escuchamos como Jesús reprendió a los discípulos temerosos, "todavía no tienen fe?" Luego calma
un mar embravecido para fortalecer su fe, manifestándoles que él también es el Señor de las fuerzas de la naturaleza.
Este domingo, el evangelio muestra que los milagros suceden no para inducir la fe, sino en respuesta a la fe.
En aparente triunfo de la muerte de la hija de Jairo, la multitud se burla de Jesús y de la fe de Jairo. "Sólo tengan
fe," Jesús aconseja. A diferencia de la fe de Jairo, que fue claramente expresada, la fe de una mujer anónima es
silenciosa, “solo tocando la ropa de Jesús." Sin embargo ella se sanó de su enfermedad aparentemente incurable. "Hija",
Jesús le dice "tu fe te ha salvado".
Luego están los miles de pequeños milagros que nadie sabe acerca a excepción de los interesados, pero que estas personas saben son la obra del poder de Dios. Y si la fe es tan poderosa, ¿por qué tenemos tan poca fe en muchas
ocasiones?
Hay historia dentro de una historia en la lectura del evangelio que vale la pena notar. La multitud está apretada y
presionando a Jesús por todas partes y él pregunta: "¿Quién me ha tocado?" ¿Qué puede ser tan importante el hecho de
que alguien le ha tocado? Ha pasado todo su ministerio de sanación enteramente terrenal para los ciegos y los cojos. La
gente le han seguido tocando dondequiera que Él se ha ido y ahora os pregunta: "¿Quién me ha tocado?
Cuando nos acercamos a Dios en fe y creemos que Él estará allí para nosotros, es en esos momentos cuando
Dios va a preguntar una vez más: "¿Quién me ha tocado?" St. Paul nos dice que Cristo es el poder de Dios.
El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica nos recuerda que en la unción sacramental de los enfermos, la Iglesia aporta
a los que piden ese mismo toque sanador de Jesús y un don especial del Espíritu Santo. Es cuando se nos proporciona
las gracias de "consuelo, la paz y el valor para superar las dificultades que vienen con la condición de enfermedad grave
o de la fragilidad de la vejez," renovando "la confianza y la fe en Dios" y el fortalecimiento contra las tentaciones del
enemigo que nos llevan a ceder "al desánimo y la angustia al confrontar la muerte."
Tocamos al Señor por nuestra fe. Y el Señor nos contesta a nuestra fe respondiendo a través de los
sacramentos que le dio a la iglesia. Él nos toca también de una manera muy personal enviándonos al Espíritu Santo que
nos sostenga en nuestro camino terrenal. De manera más profunda, el Señor Jesús nos toca por medio de nuestros
hermanos y hermanas cuando servimos unos a otros en amor. Cuando nos acercamos a un hermano o hermana en
necesidad también damos cabida para que el poder de Dios obre en nuestras vidas. Pero lo más importante, vamos a
permitir que el Señor toque las vidas de los demás y experimentar el amor de Dios a través de nosotros.
Bendiciones a todos y tengan una buena semana!

In today’s Gospel we see how in faith, Jarius asked
Jesus to heal his daughter and how Jesus then answered
his prayer. In prayer we also come to know that we are
loved by God, and in that trust we ask for healing for
ourselves, our loved ones and all those who are suffering.
This month, through your donations, the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul brought the love and care of Jesus to the
needy in our community by assisting families with their
rent, and utility bills. God’s blessings for your generosity.
St. Joseph’s Chapel
We desperately need someone to fill the Wednesday
morning 2-3am Holy Hour. Are you someone retired
who would consider spending one hour with Our Lord
each week in the chapel? Often, during the daytime hours
especially, our adorers have appointments or are out of
town and find it difficult to find a sub. We would like to
have two people assigned to each hour to alleviate this
issue.
If you feel God is calling you or you would like to be
placed on our substitute list, please contact the office.
God’s blessings to each of you for answering “His Call”.
