Mark’s Gospel Sandwich: 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time (B), June 30, 2024

The evangelist, Mark, chooses a very rare literary form in his fifth chapter; he "sandwiches" one beautiful story between two halves of another. Let's explore what he might be up to even as we learn so much from both Jesus' encounter with Jairus, the synagogue official and the woman suffering for twelve years with a debilitating flow of blood. 

Homily shared with the Saint Francis Catholic Community in Cuenca, Ecuador.
