The 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time -- June 30 2024

I have had the privilege of being in the Holy Land twice. There is a place there that has been recently excavated on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, and that place is Magdala. A shrine and conference center has been built there, and it is an amazing place to visit. One of the Chapels has a large mural of a large number of feet, with one hand reaching to touch the tassels of the cloak of someone walking by. We'll hear about that story today. It is an inspiring picture, which I now have a copy of in my home. I'd encourage you to look it up and see it. It tells the story of the woman who had no fear, and just trusted in the Lord. Let's keep that thought in mind as we listen to today's episode.
