"When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, "Do not weep." He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!" The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother." Luke 7:13-15
A chance encounter between Jesus and this dead young man and his mother. I can't help but think about this same procession but now it is Jesus on His funeral procession. His mother Mary, grieve stricken as they lay Him to rest. God has compassion for His people, He tells us not to weep, He wants to reunite loved ones. There is nothing like a mother's love, her compassion for her flesh and blood that she carried and gave birth too. If He is greater in me than he that is in the world. Does not Mary weep for us when we are dead to Him. Does she not leap for joy when we arise to the new life of Christ. Mary does play a role in our salvation for we are all sons and daughters.
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray for those who are living life without You. I pray for those entrapped by the devil and blind to what is happening. May a chance encounter with You change all that and may You give them to Your Blessed Mother to care for. I thank You Lord for a mother's love as see weeps for those on their death walk. You will not let her be disappointed. Amen.
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.
