Healing, Faith & the Power of Christ – Gospel of Matthew 9:18-26

Scripture

• Matthew 9:18–26

About this sermon

In this homily for the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost, we reflect deeply on the powerful Gospel passage from Matthew 9:18-26 — the raising of the ruler’s daughter and the miraculous healing of the woman with the issue of blood. Both figures approached Our Lord with profound faith, trusting in His divine power and mercy. This sermon highlights the spiritual truth that Christ’s divine energy—His healing grace—flows not only into bodies but into souls, restoring, uplifting, and sanctifying us. Drawing on the wisdom of St. Hilary and St. Jerome, we learn how faith itself disposes the soul to receive grace, and how Christ, the Divine Physician, continues to heal us through His sacraments and presence. During times of uncertainty, fear, and social upheaval, the unchanging truth and stability of Jesus Christ becomes our safe harbor. When we cling to Him, He strengthens us spiritually and carries us through every storm. ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 — Introduction 00:12 — Gospel: 23rd Sunday After Pentecost 00:20 — Matthew 9:18–26 — The Official’s Daughter 00:36 — The Woman With the Issue of Blood 01:03 — “If I may but touch His garment…” 01:13 — Christ’s Praise of Her Faith 01:23 — Christ Raises the Official’s Daughter 02:01 — Faith of Both the Woman & the Father 02:11 — St. Hilary on Christ’s Healing Power 03:02 — The Divine Power in Christ’s Humanity 03:25 — Christ: The Physician of Souls 04:12 — Spiritual Healing Through Christ 04:56 — Psychology, Spirituality & Healing 05:31 — “Thy faith hath made thee whole” 05:54 — St. Jerome on the Woman’s Faith 06:26 — Encouragement to Increase Faith 06:32 — Stability in Times of Uncertainty 07:02 — Christ as Our Harbor of Safety 07:21 — Closing Prayer For more on the ICKSP parishes in Ireland, & to donate to them, please click here https://institute-christ-king.ie/ & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest https://icksp.org.uk/blog/at-our-mission-in-gabon/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
