"Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed."

Jesus works two miracles - healing the woman suffering from haemorrhages for twelve years and raising Jairus' daughter to life. Probably these people did not enter Jesus' life ever after, nor were they related to him ever before. But Jesus' compassion enters their lives to transform their lives forever.

Jesus did not need a reason to reach out to those in need and neither did he take credit for his deeds. What was evident was his abounding love for those who needed it most. What the world needs is more people who can radiate love as Jesus did. We, who have been touched by Our Lord's love, have a sacred responsibility to share our love the way Jesus did.
