 According to the church calendar, today we celebrate the 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time. In the Gospel, we hear two stories where Jesus heals the sick. On his way to heal a little 12-year-old girl, he is approached by an old woman who has been afflicted with hemorrhaging for 12 years. Her only hope of getting Jesus to cure her, because of the crowds following Jesus are quite large, is to touch Jesus' cloak.
