The causes of Veronica’s shame
Pr. Korby’s definition of shame:
While are not told what, exactly, this woman’s affliction was, nor if she was somehow responsible for her condition, it does not mean that it was not a cause of shame for her.
12 years of this scourge made her accustomed to being outcast.
She had put her trust in doctors who could not help.
Why did she come secretly?
Jesus answered the prayer of her outstretched hand and answered.
Moreover he would not leave her thinking that she was still outcast or have any superstition. She was healed by His grace and love.
