Listen to my weekly radio show, On the Margins. The mother becomes an image of powerlessness. She is on her own. This image of powerlessness offers us a place where Jesus enters. Jesus himself will be the dead son some day, foreshadowing his own death. Mary the grieving mother. Jesus says, “Do not weep.” He knows something more is going to happen . Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time , June 9, 2013.

Broken But Not Divided 
I love this.
Thanks, Fr. Ron. I particularly appreciate your emphasizing that the new life takes time. In these days of instant everything, it’s easy to think that if it hasn’t happened by dinner time it’s not going to happen.
Thank you for pointing that out. The older I get the more I realize that new life may take my entire life time. I surrender to the ways God is unfolding in my life and I cannot hurry that process. Time heals.
