Because Jesus sacrificed His life for all us, we can receive the riches of His love daily. In today’s gospel Jairus and the hemorrhaging women were desperate and knew they needed healing that only Jesus could provide.
When we acknowledge our spiritual poverty, we open our hearts to the riches of Jesus’ love and mercy. It is hard to confess our weaknesses and acknowledge our temptations, but when we do our faith grows. We humble ourselves to receive!
Let us strive to be like Jairus and the woman in today’s gospel, to not only admit that we need Jesus, but to trust and have faith that God will provide for all of our needs.
Jesus, thank you for dying for us. We trust in your love and your wisdom to meet all of our needs.
