The touching account of the raising of the nameless only son of the Widow of Nain not only shows us the compassion of Jesus but also his role as the source of hope. (cf. Lk 7:11-17). There are times in our lives when we hit the "burn out" point, emotionally or spiritually, or when physically we are exhausted and feel like we are "dead", or when our joints have worn out and we have the inevitable knee or hip replacement. Low points, for sure. BUT, then comes Jesus the Healer in some way, shape or form to lift our spirits with rest, a sign of his presence, or the handiwork of a good surgeon. We are "re-born", brought back to life, just when we thought "it was all over." May we find courage and motivation to seek his healing power; he knows our needs and eventually will raise us up as he did with this young man from Nain.
