Reading I: 1Kgs 17:17-24 II: Gal 1:11-19


Gospel
Luke 7:11-17

11 Jesus journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him.
12 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.
13 When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, "Do not weep".
14 He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!"
15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
16 Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, "A great prophet has arisen in our midst," and "God has visited his people".
17 This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.


Interesting Details
One Main Point

The Trinity gives us the compassionate Jesus as the prophet and the Word of God among us.


Reflections
  1. Who are the "widow without son" or the poor in my time and my town now?
  2. Do I live out His teaching of compassion in my family and community?
  3. How am I poor, and do I cry out to Jesus?
  4. Do I spread the Word? What do I spread?
