2 Samuel 18:9-10, 14b, 24-25a, 30 – 19:4; Mark 5:21-43
HOMILY
This Gospel story is very well constructed. Almost every detail is charged with symbolic meaning, and we will certainly not grasp the full message if we simply read it as a beautiful ‘story.’ The story is only there to support the message, and that message concerns life, its restoration and its maintenance.
