31.01.2012 FAITH

Posted under Reflections on February 1st, 2012 by

GOSPEL READING: MARK 5:21-43

Jesus was invited by Jairus to visit house to heal her daughter who was dying. Jesus obliged him. He made his move to go to his house to heal her daughter. Jesus always responded to the faith of the people whoever be it. It could be a man of honour or a leper, or a blind man. Interestingly among the crowd there was woman who was also suffering and she was a person of faith. Even a silent expression of faith could bring about a healing.

Here we see a miracle within a miracle. Jesus is on his way to do a miracle but while on his way something happens which, it seems that even a Jesus is unaware. Jesus came to know of it only after it had taken place. Faith can make miracles happen to people. Faith can also bring about miracle without the knowledge of the person. What is important is the fiath.

30.01.2012 DISCIPLE

Posted under Reflections on January 29th, 2012 by

GOSPEL READING: MARK 5:1-20

Jesus meets this possessed man in a foreign land. This man before meeting Jesus was different but after meeting Jesus he became normal. The description of the man before meeting Jesus is quite interesting. He was dwelling among the tombs (= dead man). He was violent (he attacked others and cut himself with stones). He was without clothes (=animal). Totally he was not like a living human person.

After meeting Jesus, he was clothed; he was in his right mind. He was sitting. (All his violent, animal, dead characters disappeared). He wanted to follow Jesus and be a disciple. Jesus sent him back to his community. Could we say that a normal, human person (who has met Jesus) would want to be a disciple of Jesus? And Jesus’ mission was to make man complete and whole and put him back in the community.
