Episode Details

Today, we read in the gospel of the mass about a widow who has the huge problem of finding out how she would support herself, now that her husband had died and her only son just died. She was burying her in the gospel scene. Jesus meets the funeral procession. He stops the column of wailing people. He reads deeply into the plight of this widow. Moved by compassion, He resurrects the young man and returns him to his surprised mother. God loves and cares for our misfortunes and plights. Let us only take care of what we read in the last line of the Psalm II of the Book of Psalms in the Old Testament, "Blessed are they who put their trust in the Lord."
