“Do not fear, only believe.”
Mark 5 v 21 -43
21 When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered around him; and he was by the sea. 22 Then one of the leaders of the synagogue named Jairus came and, when he saw him, fell at his feet 23 and begged him repeatedly, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live.” 24 So he went with him.
And a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him. 25 Now there was a woman who had been suffering from haemorrhages for twelve years. 26 She had endured much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had; and she was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 for she said, “If I but touch his clothes, I will be made well.” 29 Immediately her haemorrhage stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my clothes?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing in on you; how can you say, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 He looked all around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”
35 While he was still speaking, some people came from the leader’s house to say, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?” 36 But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” 37 He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. 38 When they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, he saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 When he had entered, he said to them, “Why do you make a commotion and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.” 40 And they laughed at him. Then he put them all outside, and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41 He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha cum,” which means, “Little girl, get up!” 42 And immediately the girl got up and began to walk about (she was twelve years of age). At this they were overcome with amazement. 43 He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.

Picture
A picture of Jesus standing on the far bank of a large tumultuous river, many people were standing on the opposite side of the river, they had been walking all their lives through many obstacles oppositions and personal tragedies, they felt they were at the end of the road and could see Jesus and yet he was still out of reach. Jesus held up His Hand and the river became calm and then a large warm breeze blew across the river and made a pathway for those weary pilgrims, as soon as they trod on the river bed they felt new life enter them and they became alive and vigorous and so crossed into the loving Heart of Jesus.
Jesus says:
"My People you are tired worried and often doubting, but you must keep looking to My Heart where there is always sanctuary for you, is My Father in Heaven not the Creator of all things, Yes he certainly is, and do you not think that in His great love for you His own, that He has not made provision for you in this earthly life, Yes He has, He has given you to Me and I am His Son and do His Will, therefore try to be like little children whom are made in the Image of Me, My Mother will run to help you as she can do no other because you are like her Son, and any child of hers that tries to be good and do as the Father wills in Heaven will be aided by her. If Moses could call on the Father to help him part the Red Sea, do not doubt that I who love you would do the same and more if it was necessary to bring you to Me. Do not be disheartened My beloved ones, things seem bleak at times and they are, however, the Father in Heaven is Alpha and Omega and nothing is permissible without His Hand upon it, He Is the Power and the Glory, and no power can overcome His Might. My Mother has asked you for many years to keep praying especially for those who do not know me and for those who break My Heart by being cold and indifferent to Me, My people pray because I your Saviour weep in My Heart for those who are lost to Me, but your sacrifices would enable grace to enter their cold hearts and they may turn to Me, I love them so, I love them so much. My people come to Me often for it gives solace to My throbbing Heart.
I your Jesus love you."

From 'To heal the world - Catechesis on the pandemic' by Pope Francis
Thus, we must keep our gaze firmly fixed on Jesus (see Hebrews 12:2): in the midst of this pandemic, our eyes on Jesus; and with this faith embrace the hope of the Kingdom of God that Jesus Himself brings us (see Mark 1:5; Matthew 4:17).
A Kingdom of healing and of salvation that is already present in our midst (see Luke 10:11).
