Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time

“For God formed man to be imperishable;In the Gospel account of the raising of Jairus’ daughter ,
the image of his own nature he made him.
But by the envy of the devil, death entered the world,
and they who belong to his company experience it”
( from the Sunday reading of the Book of Wisdom 1:13-15; 2:23-24 ).
Jesus frees people from ‘fear of living and taking risks…
He does so with a look and a word which sets them back on the path…
We too are called to learn and to imitate these freeing words and this gaze which restores the will to live to those who lack it’ ( Pope Francis ).
