Friends, today’s Gospel reports Jesus healing many people at Gennesaret. We hear that people brought the sick from all over the region and all of them were cured.
"Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed."
It’s hard to deny that Jesus was known as a healer and a miracle worker. And there is also abundant evidence that the performance of miracles was a major reason why the first preachers were taken seriously.
In addition to miracles, we also have the witness of martyrs. Miracles and martyrs: two beacons of light that illuminate the truth of Jesus Christ.
But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings; Malachi 4:2
The tassels of the robes worn by Jewish men in those days were referred to as “wings”
The woman healed of the bleeding disorder knew the Tanakh. She took a great risk going out in public while “unclean” but her faith was stronger than her fear
Bergoglio denies it. He claims the miracle of the fishes and loaves was only an example of socialist "sharing".
The heretic also denies the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ:
