Death Is Irregular

Readings for the 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Wisdom 1:13-15; 2:23-24,  Mark 5:21-43The foundation for our Gospel is laid in the first line of the first reading - don't miss it!  God did not make death, nor does God delight in the destruction of the living.  Death is not the vision or the desire of God - life is.  And with that knowledge, we hear two stories about death to life in the Gospel.  And while we can sit here 2000 years later and enjoy these stories, we see death everywhere around us.  What does this have to say to us today?  What was true then is still true now.  Death does not have the final word.  Life does.  If we but have the eyes to seeSpecial thanks to Bridget Zenk for her composition and performing of our intake and outtake music.  And thank you to you for continuing to listen to this podcast and share it with those you love.  We have been listened to in both hemispheres and on every continent (Ok, maybe minus Antarctica!).  I'm humbled.  Have a question or a comment (or know what the number 12 means in this reading?) - send them my way at [email protected]
