Episode 09 The Healing of the Woman with the Issue with Blood

Welcome back to ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I’m your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, we’re witnessing one of the most powerful and emotionally charged stories in the Gospels—Jesus’ healing of the woman with the issue of blood, found in Mark 5:25-34. But this isn’t just a story about healing. It’s a story about what happens when someone living in the shadows of life decides to step out into the light and reclaim her dignity, identity, and worth.” “Let’s set the scene: A large crowd surrounds Jesus. People from all over have come to see, hear, and touch Him. Amid this bustling crowd, there’s a woman. For twelve long years, she has been suffering from a condition that not only made her physically weak but also socially outcast. In the eyes of the community, she was unclean and untouchable. She had spent everything she had on doctors who couldn’t heal her. She had tried everything. And now, she was invisible to the world but desperate for something different.
