How much do we really trust Jesus? Are there some among us who doubt that God can really help us? Today's Gospel shows us the amount of trust the haemorrhaging woman had towards Jesus. This woman had suffered from a haemorrhage for twelve years and no doctor could cure her. Nothing in the medicine world could do anything to help her. And yet, this woman had faith that Jesus could cure her. The Gospel tells us that "she came up behind Jesus through the crowd and touched his cloak. And the source of the bleeding dried up instantly, and she felt in herself that she was cured of her complaint."
Sometimes our modern medicine or modern science may not be able to help us, since there are many things that modern medicine or modern science has still not fully understood or discovered. When this happens, we may be given the impression that there is no hope or all is lost. Some of us may even go for treatment from bomohs, shamans, medicine men, etc, thinking and hoping that these may be able to cure us. However, let us take the example of the haemorrhaging woman and trust that the Lord will care for us and do what is best for us. Are we willing to let God take control and help us?
