[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, the centerpiece of our Gospel today is *the story of the
hemorrhaging woman. *To get at the power of the Gospel, we have to
reacquaint ourselves with the Jewish attitudes regarding the clean and the
unclean.* In the book of Leviticus, we find carefully laid-out
prescriptions dealing with animals, plants, foods, and situations that are
unclean*. *These prescriptions were meant to identify the Jewish people as
a people.* *But they had a rather severe downside,* *since they placed
certain people in extremely difficult situations.*

*Having a flow of blood for twelve years meant that for that entire period
the woman in our Gospel was* *a *virtual* pariah.* *Anyone with whom she
came in contact would be considered unclean.* *She couldn’t participate in
the ordinary life of her society.*

*She touches Jesus and 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.*


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
