Healing in the Presence

Scripture  

Mark 5:25–34 (NRSV, abridged)  

Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years.  

She had heard about Jesus and came up behind Him in the crowd  

and touched His cloak, for she said,  

“If I but touch His clothes, I will be made well.”  

Immediately her bleeding stopped;  

and Jesus, aware that power had gone forth from Him, turned and said,  

“Who touched Me?”  

The woman came in fear and trembling,  

fell down before Him, and told Him the whole truth.  

He said to her,  

“Daughter, your faith has made you well;  

go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”

Refrain  

In Your presence, healing begins.

Quote 

Henri Nouwen  

“Jesus heals, not by taking our pain away,  

but by entering into it with us.  

In His presence, our wounds become places where grace lives.”
