THE PASTOR’S CORNER
Compassion gives life
The compassion of Jesus here is so strong that life flows from it into a dead
man. The compassion is for someone for whom there would now be little
place in society and the fortunes of the widow in that time depended totally
on the religious motivation of the people.
In the end the people were of course amazed but their amazement brought
them to Jesus. We might think that they would be mesmerised by the man
raised from death, but their awe brought them to praise God for his great
work.
Goodness and God
Our ordinary life can bring us in touch with great goodness and spirituality in
people. Or to a depth of prayer and care for the poor. Through many such
people, God is very near and real in the world, and so our praise can be directed to God as we thank these men and women for what they do for us and
for many.
The compassion which flowed from Jesus to bring life to a dead man can flow
from us to enliven the lives of others. We can ‘grow’ this compassion in prayer. Our prayer with God if it is sincere will lead us into the mystery of being
loved by God and called into love of others.
Teach us compassion O Lord, and for in our compassion for others, we are
doing your will.
