The Bleeding Woman and Jairus' Daughter (General Audience)

"A very widespread ailment of our time is the fatigue of living: reality seems to us to be too complex, burdensome, difficult to face. And so we switch off, we fall asleep, in the delusion that, upon waking, things will be different."

Today’s speech was given by Pope Leo XIV on June 25, 2025, during his weekly general audience. This is part of the cycle of catechesis on the theme “Jesus Christ our Hope”. This series of catechesis focuses on the life of Jesus through his healings. This week: the healings of the bleeding woman and Jairus' daughter.
