Twenty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time

Luke 7:11-17




*Friends, our Gospel today gives us Jesus’ raising of the son of the widow
of Nain. This is a prime exemplification of the key Gospel truth that
everything Jesus said and did, in one way or another, is an anticipation of
his Resurrection. The God of Israel, the God of Jesus Christ, is a God of
life, a God of the living. He hates death and the ways of death. The death
in today’s Gospel goes beyond the tragic loss of a loved one, as awful as
that is. In the context of Jesus’ time and place, this is a disaster for
the widow. There is no social safety net, no insurance, no guaranteed
income. Unless she finds kindly neighbors who will support her, she is lost
without her husband and, importantly, her "only son." This is why the heart
of Jesus is especially moved with pity. Notice please that the reaction of
the bystanders is fear. This is the fear that comes from the turning
upside-down of a world. This is also the reaction of the women at the tomb
on Easter Sunday morning. An evangelization that isn’t a little scary is an
inadequate evangelization. *
