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
