Someone will die, get hurt, be ill, make bad chioces.
God is not saying there will be no storms for you. What he says is take up your cross and follow me. He is there in the storm. Sometimes he holds his hand out to lift us up when we sink. Other times he is in the back of the boat asleep on a cushion. He is always with us. Close to our hearts, especially ones breaking from grief.
To suffer is to love. Look at the cross.

we pray for Rick’s family especially for his son who is struggling with drugs addiction now. As humans, we hope You cure Rick’s son from the addiction. We’re asking You to take Rick’s son back to the right path. We hope that what we’re asking You Lord is in accordance with Your Will and big plan.
But Lord, if You have a big plan behind all this, we pray that You give power, strength, patience and understanding to Rick and his wife as parents so they will take this situation sincerely and always stay faithful and thankful to You
And for us, Lord, help us understand everything that we’re going through every single day in our lives is in Your control so that we will always be strong and patience to live this uneasy life.

Mother Mary, please for Rick’s family and for us. AMEN

# Thank You Laura Kazlas for the reflections , God bless you and your family

What we might be able to learn from the readings for mass today, is that Jesus and God both love us deeply and they do not want to see us suffer, be sad or cry. It is not their will that we suffer.
Why do you say Jesus and God both love us, I get confused with that, Jesus is God, is the second person in the Trinity.
Please explain why do you refer as “Jesus and God”

He is addicted to narcotics and has been diagnosed with a drug induced mental illness. Today’s reading puts a lot in perspective. I know there is a greater reason for the suffering and today I may not understand it, but in the end it will become clear.

All said, however this is testing my faith. My wife and I do so much for so many and yet we weren’t able to keep our own son on the right path. I keep praying and visualizing about how healthy and happy he is. He is a good man deep down, with all the right morals and a good family behind him.

Please pray for us.

They may not be the big things as in the physical healing of an ailment but sharing your lunch with someone at work who forgot their lunch and does not have the money to go out and purchase. A ride from a friend. Service at church in what ever ministry. God may heal your cancer by taking you home to heaven. We also have miracle drugs that do alleviate pain and suffering of some aliments . Still, I have a grandson on drugs and a nephew that lives off of his mom and many big problems that are still there , but never fear God is working. Working on that miracle.
Thanks for reminding me.

On imagination of the scene, I picture that It must took a lot of courage and purest intention of humility in the part of the royal official to get the attention of Jesus that time.

Knowing he was a high official of the king- the king who also wanted Jesus to be out of his way, really he submit everything, his whole self, his life – a total surrender! There, Jesus see his brokenness, perform the miracle he ask, not for him but for his son.

Thanks a lot! God bless!
