Making Something From Nothing

June 9, 2013

This week’s readings are for the people who feel that they have no hope. Even in the darkest of times, God can create something from nothing and can bring grace back into our lives. In the first reading, the prophet Elijah brings the old widow’s son back from the dead; in the Gospel, Christ does the same thing; and in St. Paul’s letter, he recounts his conversion from a fierce persecutor of Christianity to its great advocate. In every case God made something from nothing and injected grace back into someone’s life, and He can always do the same for us if we are open to Him.
