IF I BUT TOUCH (Mark 5:21-43)
A woman makes her way through the crowd, ignoring all conventions,
and reaches out and touches the cloak of Jesus.
She is healed immediately. As in
many places, Mark draws us to the heart of the matter. A person rises above all her problems and the
social expectations around her and reaches out to Jesus and ‘immediately’ – how
often Mark uses that word – she is cured.
All we have to do is ponder the scene and all the reasons why we are hesitant. Why do we not pay attention to that decisive
call? What are these excuses we make?
