A dead man was being carried out for burial.
The only son of his mother, a widow.
We who are so mercurial.
Cannot appreciate how it is to feel so low.
The widow, bereft of husband and only son.
Grieving with no possible support.
But Jesus was compassionate to anyone.
When all else fails, he is the last resort.
She did not even ask for anything.
Yet he felt sorry for her.
He, the eternal mainspring.
Nothing will him deter.
In our grief we may not ask.
But he is equal to any task.
……..
We may be grieving
But someone is listening
And he’s always there
…….
See Luke 7: 11-17
