VOLUME #15 ISSUE 22
TENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
JUNE 5, 2016
“As he drew near to the gate Nain, a man who had died was being carried out,
the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.” Luke 7:11-17
A crowd of people followed Jesus to Nain, a small village a few miles southeast of Nazareth.
The body of the only son of a widow was being carried out of the city gates. Jesus, himself the
only son of a widow, knew that a woman without a husband or son was facing more than the loss
of loved ones. She was facing a life of deprivation, hardship and abuse. Jesus, moved with pity
tells her, “Do not weep.” He then touches the stretcher and says, “Young man, I tell you to
rise.” The man sat up, speaks, and Jesus restores him to his mother. Jesus was aware of the
reality and challenges of the culture of his time. He did not avoid or turn away from people in
their time of need. He did not consider their worthiness as a condition for his help. He acted
with compassion and challenged them to have faith. The miraculous aspect of this event may
distract us from the challenge of Jesus for us to understand our culture, to be aware of people in
need, to have faith and to help without conditions.
