Tuesday of the Fourth Week Ordinary Time
Memorial of Saint Agatha, virgin and martyr
Reading and Reflection
Mark uses one of his favorite literary devices today, intercalation. He puts one story inside of another to affirm both stories. The woman with the hemorrhage was healed and Jesus didn't even know who had touched him. The daughter of the official was healed. The faith of the woman and the faith of Jesus enabled God's glory to be experienced in these healings. Let us pray that we will reach out and touch Jesus to bring His healing to the world.
Reminder: Rice Bowls are in the Narthex
with great suggestions for Lenten sacrifices. Lenten
regulations are in this week's Good News along with times for Ash
Wednesday and most Lenten activities.
