The first reading speaks of death entering the world at the hand of the devil. The Gospel features a dying girl and an ill woman. But, sickness and death do not have the last word. Not with God, for God made us that we may have life. Both the girl and woman are cured. Thus, we can sing, as we do in the psalm, “I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.”-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------QUESTION OF THE WEEK….How does knowing that God is the God of life, not death, affect the way I live my life? Am I courageous enough to stand up to those who do not respect the basic human right to life? 00 TODAY’S READINGS address sickness and death.

Possibly our whole life we have lived in triumphalist and paranoid stances that it is hard to get into a positive creative mode. = living faith not fear; = peace making instead of moneymaking;= community instead of completion.
