Right now we
are a witness to a very difficult moment in the life of every person.
The farewell
to a loved one. In today's gospel, it is not difficult to imagine a mother's
despair. The death of her son was a huge disaster..... Losing her son,... she
lost all,.... becoming quite lonely.
Witnessing
this misfortune, Jesus stood at the side of the road and seeing the despair,
said, " Do not cry", and then touching the pallet, He said, "Young man, rise
up." Restoring the boy to life.
Life is for
living that is our goal.
The desire
to live is something natural. Death is something contradictory and contrary to
our nature. While at each and every moment we are approaching our departure from
this world we must be sure that in the Resurrection of Christ we see the empty
tomb.
Often we
say, we are born to die but, as believers in God, we add we must die to be born
into eternal life.
At the time
of our Baptism, we entered the same road as Jesus. So we have the opportunity to
meet Him now and after death.
The problem
is, that very often we choose a different way, which seems to us to be
better.
Unfortunately, this is the risk when
we do not meet with Jesus.
Only Jesus
is the Lord of life and death and only He can restore us back to
life.
Why not
choose this path?
We must
choose the way by which He will have the opportunity to touch the pallet
restoring us to life.
