For you know the generous act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich. And in this matter I am giving my advice: it is appropriate for you who began last year not only to do something but even to desire to do something&#8211; now finish doing it, so that your eagerness may be matched by completing it according to your means. For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has&#8211; not according to what one does not have. I do not mean that there should be relief for others and pressure on you, but it is a question of a fair balance between your present abundance and their need, so that their abundance may be for your need, in order that there may be a fair balance.

Then one of the leaders of the synagogue named Jairus came and, when he saw him, fell at his feet and begged him repeatedly, \u201cMy little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live.\u201d So he went with him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">And a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him. Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years. She had endured much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had; and she was no better, but rather grew worse. She had heard about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, for she said, \u201cIf I but touch his clothes, I will be made well.\u201d Immediately her hemorrhage stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, \u201cWho touched my clothes?\u201d And his disciples said to him, \u201cYou see the crowd pressing in on you; how can you say, \u2018Who touched me?\u2019\u201d He looked all around to see who had done it. But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. He said to her, \u201cDaughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">While he was still speaking, some people came from the leader\u2019s house to say, \u201cYour daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?\u201d But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue, \u201cDo not fear, only believe.\u201d He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. When they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, he saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. When he had entered, he said to them, \u201cWhy do you make a commotion and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.\u201d And they laughed at him. Then he put them all outside, and took the child\u2019s father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was. He took her by the hand and said to her, \u201cTalitha cum,\u201d which means, \u201cLittle girl, get up!\u201d And immediately the girl got up and began to walk about (she was twelve years of age). At this they were overcome with amazement. He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Gospel of the Lord.<\/p>\n<p><i>People:<\/i>&nbsp;Praise to you, Lord Christ.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Message of the Day:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.episcopalchurch.org\/sermon\/master-of-the-winds-and-the-waves-pentecost-4-b-june-20-2021\/\">Click here to read the message of the day<\/a>, written by <em><strong>The Rev.

Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
