MA S A P O LL O (RETI R ED) Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time As always on Sundays in Ordinary Time, the Old Testament reading illumines today’s Gospel. In the longer form, Je- sus 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 em- phasize an essential truth of his Gospel: that Jesus does not perform mira- cles to compel faith, but rather that faith precedes healing. JUST HAVE FAITH Jairus’ daughter is the child of an important, privileged man, who publicly seeks out Jesus and loudly proclaims—and demonstrates—his faith, “falling at Jesus’ feet and pleading earnestly with him” (5:22–23). The anonymous woman virtually “sneaks up behind” Jesus and, though clearly filled with faith, keeps that faith to herself until Jesus draws “the whole truth” out of her after her cure (5:27–28, 33). All the more impressive, then, that Jesus delays his healing of the seemingly “more important” and younger woman for the unknown, truly marginalized older woman. Re- turning to the “domestic church,” so to speak, of Jairus’ house from the public setting of the older woman’s cure, Mark tells us that Jairus’ daugh- ter has died. In the face of a hopelessness even more definitive than that of the hemorrhaging woman, people tell Jairus “why trouble the teacher any longer?” (5:35). But Jesus does not consider his response to Jairus’ faith hopeless or a bother: “Do not be afraid; just have faith” (5:36). De- spite death’s apparent triumph at Jairus’ home, Jesus grasps the child’s hand—even though the law prohibited touch- ing the dead—and bids her, “Talitha koum—Little girl, I say to you, arise!” (5:41). WHY BOTHER? So Mark seems to be asking us: Like Jairus on his way home or like the woman after twelve years, will we wonder, why bother? Or keep walking in faith with Jesus? Is a silent touch of Jesus’ garment—a quiet prayer of faith—enough for us? In the face of apparent hopelessness, will we choose faith over despair despite the ridicule of the crowd, re- membering that Jesus has grasped us by the hand in baptism and commanded us to rise? Note the Gospel’s ending: after bidding Jairus’ daughter rise, Jesus commands that she be given something to eat (5:43). So, too, Jesus invites us now to feast at his eucharistic sacrifice and banquet! Today’s Readings: Wis 1:13–15; 2:23–24; Ps 30:2, 4–6, 11–13; 2 Cor 8:7, 9, 13–15; Mk 5:21–43 [5:21–24, 35b–43]Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time As always on Sundays in Ordinary Time, the Old Testament reading illumines today’s Gospel. In the longer form, Je-sus 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 em-phasize an essential truth of his Gospel: that Jesus does not perform mira-cles to compel faith, but rather that faith precedes healing. JUST HAVE FAITH Jairus’ daughter is the child of an important, privileged man, who publicly seeks out Jesus and loudly proclaims—and demonstrates—his faith, “falling at Jesus’ feet and pleading earnestly with him” (5:22–23). The anonymous woman virtually “sneaks up behind” Jesus and, though clearly filled with faith, keeps that faith to herself until Jesus draws “the whole truth” out of her after her cure (5:27–28, 33). All the more impressive, then, that Jesus delays his healing of the seemingly “more important” and younger woman for the unknown, truly marginalized older woman. Re-turning to the “domestic church,” so to speak, of Jairus’ house from the public setting of the older woman’s cure, Mark tells us that Jairus’ daugh-ter has died. In the face of a hopelessness even more definitive than that of the hemorrhaging woman, people tell Jairus “why trouble the teacher any longer?” (5:35).

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 prep-aration 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 pray-ers: “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 hu-man 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 di-vine and human meet; a holy col-laboration in which our action is caught up into God’s divine plan. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J.

On December 8, the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church, Pope Francis proclaimed a Year of Saint Joseph from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021. A plenary indulgence will be granted to Catholics who recite any approved prayer or act of piety in honor of St. Joseph. We invite you to join us in celebrating the Consecration of St. Joseph from July 26th to September 8th, 2021 by viewing our daily 5-minute video and lis-tening to the daily reflection to St. Joseph that 44 parishioners will offer to us. Save the date of Wednesday, September 8th from 9:00 AM-11:00 AM in the Church for the close of the Consecration and the Nativity of Mary feast day. Just as Jesus and Mary entrusted themselves entirely to the care and protec-tion of St. Joseph as the head of the Holy Family, so too can we follow their example. “Jesus, living under the roof of St. Joseph and being his Son, gave us a personal example of total entrustment to St. Joseph” (Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC). We may be familiar with consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary, which con-
sists of 44 days of spiritual preparation. In recognition of the emphasis the Church has placed on St. Joseph in recent centuries, St. Norbert Parish is introducing a similar Consecration to St. Joseph complete with 44 days of readings and prayers leading up to a prayer of consecration recited on a feast day connected to St. Joseph. If you are interested in receiving the Consecration of St. Joseph book, please reach out to Ed Grady, [email protected].
