In our Gospel today, we meet a woman you can’t help feeling sorry for. She had been crippled for 18 years. She was bent over ancould not straighten up. Perhaps it was osteoporosis or some other degenerative disease. We’ve all known people who must go through life with physical disabilities for which there is no easy fix. And this woman’s condition caught Jesus’ attention. He calls her forward one day while teaching in the synagogue on the Sabbath. He healed her and released her from the bondage that kept her bent over for so long.
