SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #214

Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: "Weep not." (Luke 7:13)

THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS: When Jesus saw the deep grief of the mother, the Gospel tells us, He was "moved with compassion," and worked a great miracle to console her. In all the troubles of this life, if we turn to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we shall find sympathy and consolation. Our Lord's example teaches us that we too ought to comfort the afflicted, especially widows.
