TUESDAY OF THE TWENTY-FOURTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME St. Cornelius, Pope, & Martyr St. Cyprian, Bishop, & Martyr September 16, 2014 GOSPEL Lk 7:11-17 Jesus journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him. 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. 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. Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, “A great prophet has arisen in our midst, and “God has visited his people.” This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region. -------- Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for showing us to be compassionate to our neighbor. Give us the strength and the courage to go another mile for those in need. Amen.
