Our God will come to save us!
JESUS, MEEK AND HUMBLE OF HEART,
MAKE OUR HEARTS LIKE TO THINE.
Welcome to Monday. Let's be persistent today, impatient even, and do what needs to be done to get to Jesus. The power of the Lord is with Him for healing (Lk 5:17), as in today's Gospel. The Divine Physician is waiting for us. Even if your friends have to take you to the roof and lower you through the tiles into the middle of the room in front Jesus (Lk 5:18-19), go for it. After all, what are friends for? May Jesus see our faith and say, As for you, your sins are forgiven ... rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home (Lk 5:20, 24).
Strengthen the hands that are feeble, make firm the knees that are weak, Say to those whose hearts are frightened: Be strong, fear not! Here is your God, he comes with vindication; With divine recompense he comes to save you. Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared; Then will the lame leap like a stag, then the tongue of the mute will sing.
(Is 35:4-5)
SAINT NICHOLAS,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
Today's photo: These beautiful red berries, says contributor d, are the berries "of those jelly candies that come in a small round container. They taste like a gummy bear." Could they be the ones that make the famous German Haribo Gummy Berries? Yummy.
