My doctor diagnosed me with clinical depression about 5 years ago and prescribed me antidepressants which did help me get through the day but never lifted the depression. In the back of my mind I had always suspected that my depression was really a spiritual problem because around this time I was guilty of mortal sin and I had stopped going to mass. At the start of this year I got a real thirst and hunger for the Eucharist and started going back to weekly mass and then eventually on to daily mass and receiving the body of our Lord and I have to tell you its working miracles for me. I can feel the life and energy come back to me. I hope this helps someone else who maybe suffering from depression
Praised be the Lord! Thanks for sharing! You are more than healed... you are now spreading the good news! A hug, and God the Virgin and saint Joseph bless you and every reader.
Dont watch chosen....the women with menorrhagia is by pius tradition is st Veronica So this miracle of jesus must take you to Veronica's veil and not chosen series
The Magdala Center in Migdal, Israel, has an incredible painting of this Gospel in the Duc In Altum Chapel. It's called "The Encounter" and the painter is Daniel Cariola. It has impacted many and the gift shop there has sold thousands of reprints. As my husband and I discussed the painting, it struck me that many women suffer from PCOS and endometriosis for years (12 years!) before proper diagnosis. Young women go to the doctor with symptoms and are put on birth control pills to manage the symptoms. The symptoms lessen but the underlying disease continues, frequently until the woman gets off the pill when she is ready to start her family. At this point, the underlying condition becomes evident, and the disease must be treated. Hence, the passage of 7 - 12 years. Proper training of young women to chart, and the training of more doctors to use them would help women so much! Amazing that the Catholic Church has the right spirit and logic behind her teachings if we are open to them! Thank you for this beautiful reflection on this Gospel.
It is amazing, isn't it ? Even stories that we have heard so many times are illuminated with details I never noticed before. Like both Jairus and the woman falling at Jesus' feet. Amazing.
9:08 so interesting to hear Dr Pitre used the more archaic usage of the word “cult” or “cultic” and then complemented with a more contemporary word “liturgical”. He’s really a great bible scholar. I learned a lot!
I am fascinated by the passive voice of v.29. When the woman touched Jesus in faith, “power had gone out from him” as if Jesus wasn’t actively willing the cure of the woman. Rather, her humble faith seemed to impel the healing power which Jesus possessed to make her well. Like, all it takes is humble faith and admission of one’s nothingness for God to work in one’s favor. Pls comment. Thank you.
HEY DR. BRANT, U HAVE BEEN BREAKING IT DOWN SO WELL FOR ALL AND UR THEOLOGY IS MAKING COMPLETE SENSE IN ALL BIBLICAL SENSE.THANK U AND KEEP ENLIGHTENING US>>>
That's an interesting observation! He was Peter's scribe, and not himself an eyewitness of these events, at least not that we know. This Gospel, from what I understand reading the Church father's, was the scribe's compilation of Peter's homilies. It was read to Peter and he endorsed it, though many seem to think John Mark got events out of order, which could explain Luke's own statement in his prologue of his intent to present a more 'orderly' account, according the NAB translation, in his Gospel.
Apart from this interesting commentary given by Dr Pitre, this is what I see in today's world. Women representing all of us. Christ the bridegroom, we are the bride of Christ. Girl who is dying, represents the bride of Christ, dying and without life. Jesus gives his bride life. Blood represents life in Judaism. Woman with hammorage represents humanity. Without life. And gives her life. Jesus gives us life in every way.
The no. 12in Hebrew holds great significance, it represents authority( to heal, miracles..), appointment(12 apostles, 12 sons of Jacob, sons from the 12 tribes of Israel, 12 gates guarded by 12 angels in book of Revelation…), completeness(God)😊
It sure does. Also, what struck me as interesting was in his talk on 'How old was Joseph' the protoevangelium of James states that the priests held a council to discuss what to do with Mary, being a temple virgin, as she reached her 12th birthday.
I would even suggest that this is an allusion to baptism in a form. Lots of purple are touching him, but her faith and his grace heal her. The faith of the father and Jesus' grace healed the little girl.
She is the adopted daughter of faith. And if you belong to Christ [if you are in Him], then you are Abraham’s descendants, and [spiritual] heirs according to [God’s] promise. Galatians 3:29 AMP
I just started following your TH-cam page and learning quite a lot. Thank you Dr. Pitre for the clarity of your explanation... May I know what kind of Bible you used in this reading as I want to buy my very own Bible. The story here was quite beautifully told, words describe in details which helps imagining the actual events, with extra details, unlike the one I am reading which is mostly summary of what happened. Thank you and hope you can reply. God bless.
Watch The Chosen. Season 3.This was beautifully portrayed. One would better understand and appreciate who this woman was, what she went through and her faith in Jesus.
Blessings! With love I caution you watching “the chosen,” it is not “catholic” in teaching and makes a large departure from tradition surrounding Our Blessed Mother and Scriptural interpretations.🙏
@@justindesouza977 no. But it’s just an thought that came to mind. With the women suffering for the same as the girl’s age and being outcasted, and then being cured at the same time as the girl. Started to question if there was a connection and if Jesus could have been reuniting a family.
I don’t think that this is at all likely. Mrs Jairus most likely at home caring for her sick child. Note that Jesus shooed out everyone except his immediate companions and the child’s parents - like any good doctor. I am also fascinated by Jesus’s instruction to feed the child - again like a good doctor.
@@MJT409this is so interesting to meditate on. I always understood the hemorrhaging to have been uterine bleeding, likely from childbirth. The ages certainly do match up. Great for meditation!
The Mosaic Law declared a menstruating woman as unclean. (Leviticus 15:19-33) But this was only in a ceremonial sense. These laws served to teach respect for the sanctity of blood. (Leviticus 17:10-12) At the same time, the laws served to remind the Jewish nation that mankind is born in a sinful state and needs a redeemer.
TO THE CATHOLICS FROM GOD: JESUS IS NOT GOD. NOTICE WHEN JESUS REFERS TO HIMSELF AND GOD HE USES WORDS LIKE AS ONE, OURS, WE, US ETC., WHICH MEANS EMMANUEL GOD WITH US. GOD IS WITH AND IN JESUS, GOD IS WITH AND IN ME, GOD IS WITH AND IN ALL WHO LOVES AND OBEYS HIM, BUT THAT DON’T MAKE US GOD HIMSELF, THE TRINITY THREE PERSONS, ONE GOD. MOST SEE THIS THE WRONG WAY THEY THINK JESUS IS GOD, BUT JESUS SAID SO MANY THINGS CONTRARY TO THIS IN THESE VERSES. HE EXPLAINS HE’S NOT GOD, HE SAID APART FROM GOD HE CAN DO NOTHING JOHN 5:30, HE SAID HE AND THE FATHER ARE ONE JOHN 10:30, HE SAID WE CAN BE ONE WITH (THEM) JOHN 17:21-22, HE SAID WHY CALL HIM GOOD? NONE IS GOOD BUT ONE, THAT’S GOD MATTHEW 9:17, HE SAID HIS DOCTRINE IS NOT HIS, BUT GOD’S JOHN 7:16-18, AND SO MUCH MORE. WE MUST ALLOW GOD TO REMOVE THE BLINDNESS FROM OUR EYES, OR WE REMAIN LOST. ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD HIMSELF THROUGH JESUS ALONE, CAN SHOW US WHAT HE’S SAYING JOHN 14:26.
@@jamesisaacson6379 WHY NOT ISLAM? BECAUSE GOD SAID ONLY THROUGH JESUS, NO ONE COMES TO HIM, BUT BY HIS SON. I HEARD ISLAM DISOBEYS THAT, THEY THINK THEY CAN PRAY TO GOD WITHOUT JESUS, THIS CANNOT HAPPEN IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH GOD WITHOUT JESUS, THEY SAY HE WAS JUST A PROPHET, ONE OF THE BIGGEST LIES FROM HELL. JESUS IS THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD, I KNOW THIS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT BECAUSE JESUS WALKS IN THE ROOM COUNTLESS TIMES DOING GREAT WONDERS RIGHT BEFORE OUR VERY EYES, HE TOLD MY SISTER AND I WE ARE HIS AND CRIED TEARS OF JOY FOR US. HE TOLD ME TO (WARN) THE PEOPLE, NO OTHER RELIGIONS EXIST, AND NOT TO PRAY TO MARY. WHEN WE PRAY TO JESUS WE REACH GOD AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN GOD SAYS SOMETHING THROUGH JESUS WE MUST LISTEN, BECAUSE IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO GOD , AND IT’S HIS KINGDOM.

THAT’S WHY WHEN JESUS SAID “BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM’’ THEY THOUGHT JESUS WAS TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF, BUT IT WAS GOD’S WORDS THROUGH JESUS, BECAUSE JESUS NEVER MET ABRAHAM IN THE FLESH. JESUS SAID THE WORDS HE SPEAK IS NOT HIS OWN, BUT THE FATHER’S JOHN 12:49 WHO MADE ABRAHAM, HE WAS BEFORE ABRAHAM. BUT IT’S NOT WRITTEN WHAT GOD DID BEFORE THAT, BUT I KNOW HE WAS ALWAYS HERE.

@@annie5441 well it is said God visited Abraham. And there were 3 person's. Well, think about this. An eternal person who is love, always loving, had to love another eternal person. That other eternal person doesn’t just receive the love and say, thank you very much. That other second eternal person will return that love. And so we have now a third eternal person. See? So we call that in Christianity the Trinity, the father from all eternity, loved the son from all eternity, receives that love, and then returns that love back and that love is the Holy Spirit” Charbel

Also make sure you ditch sugar. It can really bring people down. So glad you are healing!
Healing through the Sacraments.
Eucharist and Confession is the best remedy for depression.
Praise and Thank the LORD for the healing.
The chosen portrayed this perfectly!! Thank you for your blessed insight!! God bless all of you!!

The woman represents Eve in my opinion. (Which does represent all of us) but this scene is very much a allusion back to Eve in the garden.
It's amazing video. Thank you Dr Pitre.

Where ?
