With the stories from the Gospel of Mark about Jesus’ healing of the woman with the haemorrhage and the raising of the dead daughter of a synagogue leader as focal point, Jan emphasized the importance of faith to us. He also stressed how Jesus dared to go against social norms, rules, and religious laws to help those in need. He urged us to dare to cross boundaries and the lines that divide us to bring healing into troubled circumstances and to advocate life-giving meaning and change.
