Friday of Week 9 in Ordinary Time

Tobit described how God had taken pity on him, so pious.
And had opened his eyes.
Then Tobit met Sarah, the bride of his son Tobias.
And blessed her in these words, with sighs.Welcome daughter to your own house in joyfulness.
And blessedness. Come in my daughter .
Tobit welcomed his daughter in law with happiness.
New blood is thicker than water.

Thus our prayers are answered.
Despite our afflictions.
And we are remembered.
Answering our convictions.

Nineveh saw him walking as briskly as old.
Or so we are told.

……..

Come in my daughter.
In joyfulness, blessedness
A daughter in law

See Tobit 11 : 5-17
