Gospel text
Lk 7:11-17
Lk 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."
Gospel's Commentary
Today another person wins Jesus’ heart: a grief-stricken widow! She had lost her husband and now her only son.
—In such situations of suffering, God’s goodness and omnipotence seem to “overflow.” Centuries have passed, and He has not changed. When will we change? There is certainly no shortage of suffering!
