Jesus shows her deep compassion and care for each one of us. We should be persistent in our pursuit of Jesus, even when faced with obstacles and difficulties. Even a small act of faith can lead to profound healing and transformation. Let us overcome fear with faith, trusting in Jesus' power to heal and transform our lives.
Daughter, your faith has saved you,
In His love, your heart renew.
Go in peace, with grace so pure,
In His mercy, find your cure.
Through the crowd, you reached in hope,
With faith so strong, you learned to cope.
His power touched, your soul set free,
In His embrace, your healing be.
Now walk in light, with joy and grace,
His love will guide you, every place.
For in your faith, you've found the way,
To peace and healing, every day.
Lord Jesus,
You have shown us the power of faith, and the healing that comes from Your grace. We thank You for Your boundless mercy, and the peace that You bring to our hearts.
Help us to trust in Your love, and to have faith in Your healing power. Guide us to live in Your peace, and to share Your compassion with others.
Amen.

II: The Mystery of Jesus
JAIRUS'S DAUGHTER AND THE WOMAN WITH A HEMORRHAGE
Mark 5:21-43
Gospel Acclamation
Christ took away our infirmities and bore our diseases.
Gospel | Mark 5:21-43
21 When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he stayed close to the sea. 22 One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward. Seeing him he fell at his feet 23 and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, “My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her that she may get well and live.” 24 He went off with him and a large crowd followed him. 25 There was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. 26 She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet she was not helped but only grew worse. 27 She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak. 28 She said, “If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.” 29 Immediately her flow of blood dried up. She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. 30 Jesus, aware at once that power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who has touched my clothes?” 31 But his disciples said to him, “You see how the crowd is pressing upon you, and yet you ask, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 The woman, realizing what had happened to her, approached in fear and trembling. She fell down before Jesus and told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.” 35 While he was still speaking, people from the synagogue official’s house arrived and said, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?” 36 Disregarding the message that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid; just have faith.” 37 He did not allow anyone to accompany him inside except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. 38 When they arrived at the house of the synagogue official, he caught sight of a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 So he went in and said to them, “Why this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.” 40 And they ridiculed him. Then he put them all out. He took along the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and entered the room where the child was. 41 He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!” 42 The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around. At that they were utterly astounded. 43 He gave strict orders that no one should know this and said that she should be given something to eat.
