This is the miracle the widow of Nain shares with me.
When the Lord saw [the mother], 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. Luke 7:13-15
I am always amazed at your ability to zoom in the essence of the Sunday gospel. To be in the presence of the compassion of God and experience it in some capacity is a true gift. Thanks for sharing your mystical, heartfelt reflection.
Thank you for reading, LC, and for adding your own beautifully worded insights about today’s gospel.
Trust in the relationship I am building with the Lord. Thank you for helping me see. I love the story of the widow of Nain.
