We Adore You O Christ and We Bless You
Because By Your Cross You Have Redeemed the World

Christ Jesus, though He was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited but emptied himself, taking the form of a Slave, being born in human likeness and being found in human form, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death–even death on a Cross.

Therefore God also highly exalted Him And gave Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bend in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue should confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  Philippians 2:6-11

“A Great Prophet has Arisen in Our Midst
and God has Visited His People.” Luke 7:16  Image: USCCB@Twitter

Jesus journeyed to a city called Nain (a Village of Galilee) and His Disciples and a large crowd accompanied Him. As He drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother and she was a widow.

A large crowd from the city was with her — When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, “Do not weep.” Jesus stepped forward and touched his coffin, at this the (pall)bearer’s halted and Jesus said, “Young man, I tell you arise.”

The dead man sat up and began to speak and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear seized them all and they glorified God exclaiming:

“A Great Prophet has arisen in our midst and God has visited His people.”

This report about Jesus spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region. Luke 7:11-17
