July 8, 2024 — Monday, Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time — Our Savior Jesus Christ has destroyed death and brought life to light through the Gospel — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew (Mt 9: 18-26)

While Jesus was speaking, an official came forward,
knelt down before him, and said,

“My daughter has just died.
But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live.”

Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples.
A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him
and touched the tassel on his cloak.
She said to herself,

“If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.”

Jesus turned around and saw her, and said,

“Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you.”

And from that hour the woman was cured.

When Jesus arrived at the official’s house
and saw the flute players and the crowd who were making a commotion,
he said,

“Go away! The girl is not dead but sleeping.”

And they ridiculed him.
When the crowd was put out, he came and took her by the hand,
and the little girl arose.
And news of this spread throughout all that land.
