The Bleeding Woman: A Meditation on Mark 5:25-34

Like the bleeding woman in the book of Mark, my immigration condition is something I cannot fix. Like the bleeding woman, I have seen professionals and sought help to adjust my status – but to no avail. Like the bleeding woman, I have felt the ostracizing effects of my condition. And like the bleeding woman, my heart is reaching out to the edge of Jesus’ garment, or in this case to His church.
