Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

As always on Sundays in Ordinary Time, the Old Testament reading illumines

today’s Gospel. In the longer form, Jesus performs two healings; and the Book of

Wisdom proclaims our God the God of life, who “fashioned all things that they

might have being” and formed human beings in “the image of his own nature,” to be

“imperishable” (Wisdom 1:14; 2:23). People of faith, therefore, choose to live God’s

“undying justice (righteousness)” (1:15) in this mortal life, thus beginning, even now,

the undying life for which we were created. To choose otherwise is to choose the

other side: the devil and death (2:25). Mark presents the two healings as a story

within a story, a “story sandwich,” a literary device that reinforces his message for

those who originally would have heard, not read, the story. Mark wants to

emphasize an essential truth of his Gospel: that Jesus does not perform miracles to

compel faith, but rather that faith precedes healing. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

The Pastor’s Desk

Our Lord heals a sick child in today’s Gospel reading.

Bystanders tell him to forget about the child because she has

died. However, the Lord tells them to have faith. He knows

the girl has died but wants to demonstrate God’s love,

concern, and power by raising her to life. He cures her and

the people are amazed. Should they be? Perhaps, because

such miracles were uncommon. The Lord wants us to have

faith that he can indeed do miracles in our lives and for those

we love. Help us Lord to believe that you can!.

PRAYER TO THE HOLY FAMILY

Lord Jesus Christ, who, being made subject to Mary and Joseph did

consecrate domestic life by thy ineffable virtues:, grant that we, with

the assistance of both, may be taught by their example and may

attain to their everlasting fellowship. Who lives and reigns world

without end, Amen.

A PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at

least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already

there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be

separated from you. Amen.

JESUS’ EXAMPLE OF HELPING OTHERS

In today’s second reading Paul offers a wonderful

argument to his converts at Corinth for seeking to help

those in need. He is dealing with a practical problem,

arranging a collection for the poor of the church of

Jerusalem; but as he often does, he develops an important

teaching about Jesus to make his point.

After asking that they show their faith by generous

gifts, he reminds them of the “gracious act of our Lord

Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, for your sake he

became poor, so that by his poverty you might become

rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9). In the Incarnation our Lord

assumed our human nature, certainly becoming poor for

one who is God. The ultimate gracious act of this poverty

was going to the cross with all its terrible sufferings. By

this act of poverty we definitely become rich. Now our sins

can be forgiven; we can share in the very life of God

through the sacraments; we can attain eternal salvation! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

FEAST OF FAITH

Preparation of the Gifts

The altar is prepared, the gifts are received. Several

brief rites follow with accompanying prayers, some prayed

silently by the priest and deacon and others said aloud. We

call this part of the Mass the “preparation.” What kind of

preparation is happening? First, the presider holds up the

paten or bowl containing the hosts, and says words that

Jesus must have said many times, since they derive from

ancient Jewish meal prayers: “Blessed are you, Lord God

of all creation!” We have brought forward our gifts, our

offering to God, and now we acknowledge that they are not

really ours—the gifts that we give are God’s gift to us. It is

“through your goodness” that we have gifts to offer. It is

significant that we offer not wheat and grapes, but bread

and wine; “fruit of the earth and work of human hands.”

Bread and wine are both God’s work, and ours. These

preparatory rites also prepare us for what we are about to

do in the Eucharist, a mystery in which divine and human

meet; a holy collaboration in which our action is caught up

into God’s divine plan. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

JUST THE BEGINNING

The American Revolution was a beginning, not a

consummation. —Woodrow Wilson

FOUNDING PRINCIPLES

Equal rights for all, special privileges for none. —Thomas Jefferson
