There is power to heal in a loving touch. Words, are not always adequate to express what's in our heart, whereas a wordless touch can "say it all." In today's Gospel passage, Mark 5:21-43, the hemorrhaging woman merely touched Jesus' garment with the faith that such contact would bring healing. It did. Later, Jesus took the hand of the lifeless daughter of Jairus, ordered her to arise, and she did. The ritual for the sacrament of the sick calls for several anointings: the hands, the feet, the lips, the forehead...several touches....soothing and healing of spirit, if not of body. Do we realize what healing power we have to give someone in physical or emotional distress the reassurance, the soothing they need?
