Do Not Be Afraid, Have Faith

In the Gospel Jesus healed a woman and raised a girl from the dead.  In both instances He correlates faith with fear. 

The more we fear the weaker our faith.  When a death or illness is thrust upon us it is important to have courage.  This is something we need to ask for in prayer.  God will give us this grace.

The woman was determined simply to "touch" Jesus to be healed.  We can do the same today.  Through the Sacraments of the Church, specifically the Eucharist we come to an intimate connection with Jesus.  Determined to continue to touch Him this way.
