Raising Jairus' Daughter
No fixed feast day in the calendar
Jesus raises Jairus' daughter, demonstrating His power over death.
The call to arise from death
Jairus, a synagogue official, fell at the feet of Jesus and begged Him to save his dying daughter. On the way, news arrived that the child had died, causing great sorrow. But Jesus told him: "Do not be afraid, just have faith." When He arrived at the house, He took the girl's hand and said in Aramaic: "Talitha cum" (Little girl, I say to you, arise). Immediately, she stood up and walked. This miracle shows that the power of Jesus transcends all limits of death. He is not just a healer, but the Lord of life. His calling the girl back to life is a promise that death is not the end for those who place their faith in Him.
Prayer
