MONDAY, 6 JULY
Matthew 9, 18-26:
“Take heart, child, your faith has saved you… And at that moment the woman was healed… The child is not dead, she is asleep… He took the child by the hand and she got up.
Today, Jesus meets two people for whom life has abandoned them. Jesus, who is LIFE, approaches those who do not have it.
First, he approaches a woman who is bleeding to death.
Then he comes to a little girl whose life has just left her.
The woman had little life but a lot of faith. That is why the encounter with Jesus, who is the fullness of LIFE, also fills her with life.
The father of the girl who has just died also approaches Jesus and asks for the life of his daughter. And it is also his faith that brings his daughter back to life.
Contact with Jesus always infects us with LIFE.
Come close to Him and present all those “deaths” that you feel in you.
Have faith in Jesus. He is LIFE. He will give life to everything in you that lacks life.
Good day to you.
