As Jesus reached the gate of the town,
a dead man was being carried out.
He was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow;
there followed a large crowd of townspeople.
On seeing her, the Lord had pity on her and said, “Don’t cry.”
Then he came up and touched the stretcher,
and the men who carried it stopped.
Jesus then said, “Young man, I say to you, wake up!”
And the dead man sat up and began to speak,
and Jesus gave him to his mother.
---- mine,
Your prayers, your tears, your grief, your broken-hearted cries rise up to Me and move My Heart to tender pity for you just as My Heart was moved to pity and compassion when I saw that poor widow grieve the loss of her only son. I raise to life all those who are spiritually dead as well. Have no fear. I will approach those closest and dearest to your heart, take them by the hand, and speak words of life to them in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. I will heal them and make them whole, and I will give them back to you. Continue to pray, to hope, and do not be anxious about anything. Continue to pray and fast, and when the time arrives, they will awaken from their spiritual slumber and be filled with new life, abundant life —the life that I came to give. Have faith and be filled with confidence in the power of My love. It is a love that emptied itself for you, for those you love, and for the world. My Blood has accomplished all that My Father desired it to. They will live, I assure you. Trust Me, trust My Word.
