Have we grown with Jesus?
As awful a time as it was 17 years ago in the days surrounding September 11, there was a shared looking for God … for the wisdom and courage to face evil. There is a common bond to touch the One who has the power to heal and strengthen, something we all need in times of tragedy.
Whether it be two thousand years ago, or today, there is a need for love and compassion that no self-help instructions can fix. Before Jesus acts today, he focuses on one thing: prayer time with God. Then he acts. This contemplation lets us grow as we experience Jesus’s teachings and follow his love.
Have I grown in my faith in Jesus? Do I turn to him for healing and consolation?
Let us pray for blessings of growth upon those seeking Jesus’s help and love.
