TODAY, 13th IN ORDINARY TIME: Jesus was performing miracles in order to reward the faith that He found in people who asked Him for help. A woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years approached Jesus with great faith and trust.  «If I but touch His clothes, I shall be cured.»  And the woman was not mistaken - - - Jesus cured her and praised her faith.  «Daughter, your faith has saved you.  Go in peace and be cured of your affliction.»  Jairus, a synagogue official, approached Jesus.  Seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet and pleaded earnestly with Him, saying: «My daughter is at the point of death.  Please come and lay your hands on her that she may get well and live.»  And when he heard that she had died, he did not lose his faith and trust in Jesus.  He believed that if He can cure the sick, Jesus can also bring the dead to life.  Others were saying to him not to bother the Teacher, but he was not discouraged.  Against all hope he still firmly believed.  That is why Jesus told him «do not be afraid; just have faith.»  Jesus said to those around Him: «The girl is asleep.»  Jesus took Peter, James and John to be witnesses of this great miracle.  With His almighty hand, He touched the girl and said the words: «Little girl, I say to you: arise!»  And the girl, one of twelve children, arose immediately and walked around.  Jesus brought back to life Jairus' daugher and his friend Lazarus, telling them that He awoke them from a sleep.  By doing this, Jesus announced what the Resurrection is about; that eveyr baptized person will be mystically united with Him.  «Aweake, o sleeper, and rise from the dea, and Christ shall give you light.»  (Eph. 5,14).  He who has a part in Christ will have a part in His life.  Our God is the God of the living, and God of life who has power over death.  He who believes and lives according to His Law can be sure of his own resurrection and eternal life with Christ.

 

 

 

 

DANAS: 13. NEDJELJA KROZ GODINU: Isus je svoja čudesa činio da nagradi vjeru, koju je nalazio kod onih, koji su ga molili da im pomogne.  Žena, koja je dvanaest godina bolovala od krvarenja, približila se Isusu s velikom vjerom i pouzdanjem.  «Dotaknem li se samo njegovih haljina, bit ću spašena».  I nije se prevarila.  Isus ju je ozdravio i phvalio njezinu vjeru:  «Kćeri, vjera te tvoja spasila!  Pođi u miru i budi zdrava od toga zla!»  Vjerom i pouzdanjem približio se Gospodinu i predstojnik sinagoge Jair.  U teškoj nevolji poput žene pada do Isusovih nogu i ponizno moli najprije ozdravljenje4 svoje kćeri.  Kad je dočuo da mu je kćer umrla, ne gubi pouzdanja i vjere u Isusa.  Vjerovao je da onaj, koji može bolesna ozdraviti, jednako tako može i mrtva oživjeti.  Iako su ga drugi nagovarali da se udalji i ne muči više Isusa, on se ne da obeshrabriti.  Protiv svake se nade nadao i čvrsto vjerovao.  Zato mu Isus govori: « Ne boj se!  Samo vjeruj!»  Sve one, koji nisu vjerovali, Isus ostavi izvan sobe, pred vratima.  Uzima sa sobom Petra, Jakoba i Ivana, koji će biti svjedoci ovog velikog čuda.  Pred Isusom i sama smrt nema vlasti.  «Djevojka spava», govorio je prisutnima.  Svojom je svemogućom rukom dohvati i na njegovu riječ: «Djevojčice, zapovijedam ti, ustani!», ona ustaje, oživljuje, ona se «budi».  Isus je oživio Jairovu kćer kao i svog prijatelja Lazara govoreći, da ih je probudio od sna.  Time je predoznačio svoje vlastito uskrsnuće, s kojim će svaki krštenik biti mistično sjedinjen: «Probudi se ti, koji spavaš.  Ustani od mrtvih i Krist će ti svijetliti!»  (Ef 5, 14)  Čovjek bez vjere stoji bespomoćno pred činjenicom smrti.  Tko ima dakle udjela u Kristu, ima udjela u životu.  Naš je Bog Bog živih, Bog života, koji i smrti zapovijeda.  Tko u njega vjeruje, po Njegovu Zakonu živi, može posve sigurno očekivati i svoje uskrsnuće i vječni život s Kristom.

PORUKA, 25.  LIPNJA 2009

 

«Draga djeco!  Radujte se sa mnom, obracajte se u radosti i zahvaljujte Bogu na daru moje prisutnosti medu vama.  Molite da bi u vašam srcima Bog bio u središtu vašeg života i svojim životom svjedocite, djecice, da bi svako stvorenje osjetilo Božju ljubav.  Budite moje ispružene ruke za svako stvorenje kako bi se približilo Bogu ljubavi.  Ja vas blagoslivlem mojim majcinskim blagoslovom.  Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu.»  BVM

 

The year of the priest june 19, 2009 to june 19, 2010

As declared by Pope Benedict XVI, The Year of the Priest  will be a time to encourage “spiritual perfection”

among priests, as well as a time to support and thank them for their service to the church.

 

A Prayer for our priests

 

Almighty God, in Your love you bless Your Church with priests, a sign of Your faithfulness to Your people. 

May our prayerful encouragement, during this year and years to come, help them remain faithful

to the calling they have received from You.  As they tend Your flock, grant them a caring heart. 

In them may we know the voice of Christ, our Good Shepherd, who lives and reigns

with You and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. 

Amen.
