Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Mark 5:21-43


*Friends, the centerpiece of today’s Gospel is Jesus healing the
hemorrhaging woman. Having a flow of blood for twelve years meant that
anyone with whom she came in contact would be considered unclean. She
couldn’t, in any meaningful sense, participate in the ordinary life of her
society. The woman touches Jesus—and how radical and dangerous an act this
was, since it should have rendered him unclean. But so great is her faith
that her touch,* instead,

* renders her clean. Jesus effectively restores her to full participation
in her community. But what is perhaps most important is this: Jesus
implicitly puts an end to the ritual code of the book of Leviticus. What he
implies is that the identity of the new Israel, the Church, would not be
through ritual behaviors but through imitation of him. Notice please how
central this is in the New Testament. We hear *elsewhere in the Gospels that*
Jesus declares all foods clean, and throughout the letters of Paul we hear
a steady polemic against the Law. All of this is meant to show that Jesus
is at the center of the new community.*
