Gospel: Luke 7:11-17
Jesus
journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd
accompanied him. As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died
was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large
crowd from the city was with her. When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity
for her and said to her, “Do not weep.” He stepped forward and touched the
coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, “Young man, I tell you,
arise!” The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his
mother. Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, “A great
prophet has arisen in our midst,” and “God has visited his people.” This report
about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.

Reflection:
What does Jesus do to our life?
He makes miracles for us everyday some of us notice these miracles that’s
why we always thank HIM everyday through prayers. Many of us also do not notice
this, so we live our lives without being aware of the goodness of Jesus.
While on their way to Nain Jesus saw a funeral march with a grieving
widow. Jesus saw her approached her and told her, “Do not weep.” And thereafter
HE approached the coffin of her son and HE said, Young man I tell you arise!
The grieving widow suddenly became joyous and thankful for the reason that
Jesus brought to life again her only son.
This is Jesus for you and me, a God who heals, a God who create miracles.
And a God that is always by our side ever ready to help us in whatever way. Therefore,
in everyday of our life we must strive to walk with Jesus. We must discard any
actions and thoughts which would only make us sin.
Do you make a conscious effort to avoid sin or distance yourself away
from people who influence you to sin? Have you recently thought of submitting
yourself to the healing Sacrament of Reconciliation/Confession? – Marino J.
