The gospel this morning tells us of the Widow of Nain who had lost both her husband and her son.  She was therefore desperately needy and hopeless.  Through Christ, her son was restored to her.  Not only was he raised from the dead, but her life was also, in a sense, “resurrected”.  For us, Jesus Himself, is the resurrected Son.  We too find our present and our future life in His resurrected life.
