A furtive encounter and a touch that heals
WILL YOU LOVE ME |
Let us ponder a woman who ‘had carried her cross’ for many years, who had walked in the ‘footprints of silence’…
A reading from the gospel according to Mark Now there was a woman who had been suffering from haemorrhages for twelve years. She had endured much under many physicians, and had spent all she had; and she was no better, but rather grew worse. |
PONDER
Ponder the woman….. What do you see? feel? hear?

Let us listen to how this text touches Janet Morley

O MY GOD TURN TO ME
|
For I will touch you, and you shall know me; |
FOR REFLECTION
What are your fears, your anxieties, your weakness that you would like to reach through to touch the healing garment of Jesus? Name them, open them to the healing touch of God…. This may come through the touch of a child, a spouse, a parent, a colleague, a student…. To whom do you need to reach out…… to touch with tenderness…. |
ENFOLD ME IN YOUR LOVE |
