As we journey though life there are ups and downs. When we are knocked down we need a pick-me-up, or as the Italians
might say, a “tira-mi-su.” No matter what way you are knocked down, Jesus is there to pick you up. Especially when we are ill
we need Jesus to pick us up and that is why a large part of the Church’s ministry is in healthcare and looking after those who are
ill. We are also aware of those who have received miraculous physical healings at shrines like Lourdes and Knock. They remind
us that Jesus wishes to heal us today just as he did in Palestine 2000 years ago. Through the Church Jesus continues to heal,
taking the those who are ill by the hand and saying, “Talitha kum”, “...I tell you to get up.” (Mark 5:41) Let us have faith in the
healing power of Jesus and allow Jesus to take us by the hand when we need and help us up. Let us have faith in the power of
Jesus to reverse bad situations.
To begin the healing of these types of knocks I would like to recall for you the motto chosen by the Catholic Church for the
Jubilee 2000, “Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday, today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8) No matter when you were hurt,
remembering that today, yesterday and tomorrow are the same for Jesus, ask him to walk back in time with you to the day when
you suffered a particular hurt or received the news of your illness. Close your eyes now and imagine Jesus by your side or in
front of you…Make your way through the crowd to Jesus like the bleeding woman…In your imagination touch Jesus’ cloak
wishing for his healing…(Mark 5:27-28) Feel the love of Jesus healing you….Hear Jesus say to you, “Your faith has restored
you to health…”….(Mark 5:34) Or in your imagination see Jesus take you by the hand as he took Jairus’ daughter by hand and
let Jesus help you up, “I tell you to get up”….(Mark 5:41) Jesus said about the girl, “She is not dead, only asleep.” (Mark 5:39)
Hear Jesus say to you, “Your wound is not permanent, it is only temporary, I am healing you”…Let Jesus comfort you after the
hurt you received….Let the love of Jesus replace all the damage and hurt and woundedness….Just as the Good Samaritan poured
oil and wine on the wounds of the injured man on the road to Jericho (Luke 10:34), let Jesus pour his love on your wounds and
replace your wounds with his love…Touch Jesus’ garments and let your bleeding, your suffering, dry up…Hear Jesus say to you,
“You are not dead, only asleep. Get up”….Tell Jesus about your pain and hurt….Feel the love of Jesus replacing your wounds
with his love, healing you and making you whole again.
Pray to Jesus like this for 15 or 20 minutes every day for as long as it takes your wound to heal. Pray to Jesus whatever way
helps for as long as possible each day. Come to Jesus in faith. Jesus cares about you more than anyone and does not want you to
remain wounded and hurt. He wants you well and at peace to enjoy life. Come to Jesus through the crowd in faith, reach out and
touch him. Let him take you by the hand and raise you up. “My daughter, your faith has restored you to health; go in peace and
be free of your complaint.” “Little girl, I tell you to get up.”

Dear Jesus, help me to spread your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul
with your spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that
all my life may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me and be so in me
that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let
them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I
shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.

R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me. I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew me clear and did not let my enemies rejoice over me. O LORD, you brought me up from the netherworld; you preserved me from among those going down into the pit. R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me. Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger lasts but a moment; a lifetime, his good will. At nightfall, weeping enters in, but with the dawn, rejoicing. R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me. Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me; O LORD, be my helper. You changed my mourning into dancing; O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks. R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
