Living the dead... (reflection for July 2, 2006)
In today's Gospel, Jesus performed a miracle. He brought back life to a girl who has been dead for 3 days. Jesus said that the girl was only sleeping and just have faith. So Jesus said to the dead girl, "Talitha koum" (Little girl, arise!) The girl woke up and started to walk around.
When we give up on something,
When we lose our faith,
When failures come,
When we give in to temptation,
When we do sin...
Similar to the Gospel, we sometimes die; and this emotional death is what keeps our faith down. We tend to lose our faith when we encounter problems and when our cross gets bigger and heavier. Jesus is just around there if you need him, when we are having this death, just call out his name and He'll come just like He did in today's Gospel and brings us back to life to what makes us fall to sin and darkness.
Jesus tells us, "be not afraid, have faith". When we have Jesus, what is there for us to fear?
