The Slow Elevator

Welcome back to ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I’m your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, we’re witnessing one of the most powerful and emotionally charged stories in the Gospels—Jesus’ healing of the woman with the issue of blood, found in Mark 5:25-34. But this isn’t just a story about healing. It’s a story about what happens when someone living in the shadows of life decides to step out into the light and reclaim her dignity, identity, and worth.” “Let’s set the scene: A large crowd surrounds Jesus. People from all over have come to see, hear, and touch Him. Amid this bustling crowd, there’s a woman. For twelve long years, she has been suffering from a condition that not only made her physically weak but also socially outcast. In the eyes of the community, she was unclean and untouchable. She had spent everything she had on doctors who couldn’t heal her. She had tried everything. And now, she was invisible to the world but desperate for something different.

Welcome back to '2 Minutes with the Lord.' I'm your host, Fr. Veigas Dominic SVD, and today, we're stepping into the world of one of Jesus' most profound miracles—the healing of the ten lepers. But we won't look at this as just another story about healing. This story is about what it means to be restored—not just physically, but in terms of belonging, identity, and community. It's a story about how we treat those on the margins and how radical inclusion can bring true transformation."   Imagine you're walking through a city, and as you pass by an alleyway, you notice a group of people huddled together. They're homeless. Forgotten by society, living on the fringes, unseen by the thousands of people passing them by daily. Some are struggling with addiction, some with mental illness. Each of them has their own story, but they all share one thing in common: isolation. In this busy, bustling world, they've become invisible."

But today, we will look at it from a completely different angle. This isn’t just about someone coming back to life. It’s about the in-between—the waiting, the grief, the uncertainty before hope breaks through. We will explore what it means to stand at the tomb of your deepest despair and still believe that something incredible can happen.”

“Welcome back to ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I’m Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, we’re diving into something deeper than a story—something that touches the essence of faith, fear, and the unknown. The story of Jesus walking on water is familiar, but what if this isn’t just about physical waters, waves, and boats? What if it’s about stepping into an unknown dimension of faith, where reality bends, and we’re forced to confront the limits of what we think is possible?”

“Welcome back to ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I’m Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, we’re diving into one of the most iconic miracles of Jesus—feeding the five thousand. But instead of retelling it exactly as it happened 2,000 years ago, let’s place it into today’s context, a scenario many of us can relate to: the startup world. Like the boy with five loaves and two fish, modern entrepreneurs often feel they don’t have enough resources to succeed. Yet, this story teaches us that with Jesus, even the little we have can become more than enough.”
