Medley Minute with Fr Sam: When you hear it your life will never be the same. That's what it was like for that widow of Nain. Jesus said to her, "Do not weep!" It is the moment God, after receiving your tears (Ps 56:8), DRIES THEM. He doesn't just command you to not be sorrowful. Upon receiving holy communion, " the pledge of future glory," He creates in your heart of hearts a hope so powerful you experience a taste of heaven, a slight foreshadowing, of what it will be like to know unending eternal bliss. You forget momentarily all sorrow or the fall or anything wicked and are preoccupied with how loved you are. And all is complete and perfect because you know very soon God will be all in all.
