God's Plan vs Yours: Be of Good Heart — Your Faith Has Made You Whole

About this sermon

In today’s powerful Gospel reflection, we explore the interrupted healing of Jairus’ daughter and the woman with the hemorrhage — two miracles woven together to reveal God’s perfect timing, divine mercy, and unshakeable love for each of us. This message reminds us that God’s plans rarely match our own, yet His designs are always better, deeper, and more life-giving than anything we could imagine. Whether we are waiting for healing, struggling with fear, or wondering if God sees our suffering, Christ speaks the same words to us today: 👉 “Be of good heart… your faith has made you whole.” We look at the father’s anguish, the crowd’s disbelief, the woman’s hidden courage, and the mystery of God’s timing — all pointing us to the truth that healing comes in God’s way, in God’s time, and always with God’s love. We also reflect on biblical figures whose plans were changed by God — Moses, David, Job, Ruth, Mary, and St. Peter — reminding us that every great saint became holy by surrendering their plan for God’s plan. This homily also includes a beautiful Polish poem by Czesław Miłosz on the scandal of the cross, inviting us to go deeper into the mystery of God's love revealed through suffering. If you need encouragement, healing, or hope — this Gospel is for you. 00:00 – Introduction: “Be of good heart” 00:15 – Two healings in one Gospel 01:00 – Jairus and his plea to Jesus 01:42 – The woman with the hemorrhage 02:30 – Jairus’ daughter is found dead 03:00 – When we feel God is “too slow” 03:34 – Getting God’s attention — our impatience 04:20 – Healing interrupted 05:00 – When our plans fail 05:50 – Biblical examples of God changing plans 06:40 – Mary’s unexpected call 07:20 – Peter rebukes Jesus 08:00 – God’s plan is always better 08:35 – “Plans for a future filled with hope” (Jeremiah) 09:20 – The world rejects God’s plan 09:55 – Czesław Miłosz poem (Polish & English) 11:10 – The world scoffs at the Cross 11:50 – God’s plan vs. the world’s expectations 12:40 – Who truly understood Jesus in the Gospel? 13:10 – The faith of the hemorrhaging woman 14:00 – Jesus touches the broken and makes them whole 14:45 – Coming to God in humility 15:10 – Christ’s healing words For more please visit http://www.institute-christ-king.org/milwaukee/milwaukee-sermons/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 #JesusHeals #CatholicHomily #GospelReflection #FaithAndHealing #JairusDaughter #WomanWithTheHemorrhage #TrustGod #CatholicChurch #ChristianInspiration #GodsTiming #HopeInChrist #Mark5 #HealingMiracles #BeOfGoodHeart
