    The last two Sundays in Ordinary time, we had Scripture


    Readings about Nature, the trees and about water. This
    week-end, we are asked to contemplate on the end of life,
    which is death.
    Some people blame God, for creating death. Our First
    Reading from the Book of Wisdom, blames death on the
    Devil, the Evil One. In our Second Reading, Saint Paul
    explains that we need to share what we have with others,
    so that we are alive in the spirit. Thus implying that, if we
    do not share, then we are actually spiritually dead!
    In the Gospel, Jesus through raising Jairus daughter back to
    life, proves to us that God is not a God of Death, but a God
    who gives Life. Death, however, is a human condition that
    cannot be reversed. But God through His Mercy and Love
    has sent us Christ who died but rose from the dead. We are
    called to be alive in the spirit, by sharing our talents, time
    and treasure with others as a sure means to be rewarded in
    Heaven.
    Father Sebastian has safely reached India and will begin his
    three months of sabbatical studies on Spirituality on July 1.
    You can email him for any need. sebchacko@hawaii.rr.com
    or hfc830@gmail.com
    We pray for our Nation as we get ready for July 4th
    Celebrations.

    Wouldn't it be great if we
    could actually touch and feel
    the hem of Jesus' clothing,
    like the woman in this Sunday's Gospel reading? To be
    near enough to Jesus to be
    healed spiritually, physically,
    and emotionally. How can
    we, more than 2000 years
    after he ascended to heaven,
    get so close to him?
    It is possible, and it's exactly
    what Jesus wants. It comes
    from developing a better understanding of who Jesus
    really is and how much God
    really cares. The synagogue
    leader understood, which is
    why he could say: "Please,
    come lay your hands on my
    daughter that she may live."
    He understood Jesus beyond what was in front of his
    eyes.

    Knowing Jesus is to know


    divine life, which transforms
    our earthly life into something much more like his and
    then takes us to heaven. The
    Saturday July 4
    first reading, remember,
    Genesis 27:1-5,15-29
    states clearly that death is
    Ps 135:1b-2,3-4,5-6
    Matthew 9:14-17
    not part of God's plan. Jesus
    drives this point home by
    allowing the girl to die before he reaches her house.
    Certainly God could have kept her alive until he got
    there! But he wanted to show us that he could restore
    life and that he has the power to rescue us from death.
    If we fear death, we don't recognize the nearness of
    Christ. We can touch the hem of his garment, but we
    don't see it, and so we don't believe it. In this case,
    we're like the mourners that Jesus had to chase out of
    the house before working his miracle.

    If we fear that our trials are leading


    to disastrous conclusions, we've forgotten how powerful Jesus is, and
    we've forgotten that he
    cares
    enough to rescue us. We need to
    move ourselves closer to Jesus. We
    have to press on through the crowd
    of distractions and doubts, with our
    eyes fixed only on Jesus and our
    hands reaching out to him in prayer.
    If we fear that God doesn't care
    enough to help us, we need to
    spend more time learning why Jesus
    gave up his life for us and why the
    Father sent him to us.

    Reflect & Discuss:


    1. Do you believe that Jesus wants
    to work miraculously in your life?
    2. How has the disbelief of the
    people around you infected your
    thinking and reduced your faith?
    3. Describe a miracle that you saw
    or experienced. How long did it
    take?
    4. What blessings occurred during
    the time of suffering?
    5. How was all of this an expression of God's love?
