The gospel reading today said a lot about how the Lord views his children. Jesus is not an administrator or strategist in his relationship with us. He loves us. “As he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, … Continue reading Our Tears Touch Jesus
