This week our gospel lesson is taken from the Evangelist Luke concerning Jesus’ healing of a crippled Women. Jesus often met people in His ministry who had various physical handicaps and infirmities. The most important point is that Jesus did not treat people with disabilities any different from anyone else. He loves all of us and He approached them not as disabled persons but as persons with a disability. That makes a tremendous difference.
The reading from the Gospel this Sunday comes from Gospel of St. Luke the Evangelist, Chapter 12:16-21, which is the Parable of the Rich Fool.
The gospel lesson for the 8th Sunday of St. Luke the Evangelist is the Parable of the Good Samaritan, who seeing a Jew mortally wounded stops to help him, after both a Jewish priest and a Levite passes by.
Today we hear the Gospel from the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 8:40-56, about Jairus and his daughter and the woman who suffered from bleeding.
