Mark 5: 21-43 - 'Little girl, I tell you to get up.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 548 (in 'The Signs of the Kingdom of God') - The signs worked by Jesus attest that the Father has sent him. They invite belief in him. To those who turn to him in faith, he grants what they ask. So miracles strengthen faith in the One who does his Father’s works; they bear witness that he is the Son of God (abbreviated)

- 2616 (in 'Jesus hears our prayer') - Prayer to Jesus is answered by him already during his ministry, through signs that anticipate the power of his death and Resurrection: Jesus hears the prayer of faith, expressed in words (the leper, Jairus, the Canaanite woman, the good thief) or in silence (the bearers of the paralytic, the woman with a hemorrhage who touches his clothes, the tears and ointment of the sinful woman) (abbreviated)

- 994 (in 'The progressive revelation of the Resurrection') - It is Jesus himself who on the last day will raise up those who have believed in him, who have eaten his body and drunk his blood. Already now in this present life he gives a sign and pledge of this by restoring some of the dead to life, announcing thereby his own Resurrection, though it was to be of another order (abbreviated)

- 1504 (in 'Christ the Physician') - Often Jesus asks the sick to believe. He makes use of signs to heal: spittle and the laying on of hands, mud and washing. The sick try to touch him, “for power came forth from him and healed them all.” And so in the sacraments Christ continues to “touch” us in order to heal us.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to the podcast and we're going to have a look at today's gospel reading for Mass.
0:17.2	It's a fairly long one today, so we're going to jump straight into it.
0:20.5	It's Mark Chapter 5 one today, so we're going to jump straight into it. It's Mark Chapter 5, verses 21 to 43.
0:26.5	When Jesus had crossed in the boat to the other side, a large crowd followed around him, and he stayed by the lakeside.
0:35.6	Then one of the synagogue officials came up, gyrus by name, and seeing him fell at his
0:41.1	feet and pleaded with him earnestly, saying, my little daughter is desperately sick. Do come and lay
0:48.1	your hands on her to make her feel better and save her life. Jesus went with him and a large crowd followed him. They were
0:57.1	pressing all around him. Now there was a woman who had suffered from a hemorrhage for 12 years.
1:04.4	After long and painful treatment under various doctors, she spent all she had without being any
1:10.2	the better for it. In fact, she was getting
1:12.8	worse. She had heard about Jesus and she came up behind him through the crowd and touched
1:18.5	his cloak. If I can touch even his clothes, she had told herself, I shall be well again.
1:26.4	And the source of the bleeding dried up instantly, and she felt in herself that she was cured of her complaint.
1:34.9	Immediately aware that power had gone out from him, Jesus turned round in the crowd and said,
1:40.9	Who touched my clothes?
1:42.7	His disciples said to him, you see how the crowd is pressing around you,
1:46.6	and yet you say, who touched me? But he continued to look all around to see who had done it.
1:53.2	Then the woman came forward, frightened and trembling, because she knew what had happened to her,
1:58.4	and she fell at his feet and told him the whole truth.
2:02.6	"'My daughter,' he said,
2:04.0	"'your faith has restored you to health.
2:06.5	Go in peace and be free from your complaint.'"
