Examination Prayer: Dear Lord, as I take this exam, I thank you that
my value is not based on my performance, but on your great love for
me. Come into my heart so that we can walk through this time together.
Help me, not only with this test, but the many tests of life that are sure
to come my way. As I take this exam, bring back to my mind everything
I studied and be gracious with what I have overlooked.
Help me to remain focussed and clam, confident in the
facts and in my ability, and firm in the knowledge that no
matter what happens today you are there with me. Amen

Reflection - Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
There are only a few accounts of the raising of the
dead in the four gospels. Matthew, Mark and Luke
record the raising of the little daughter of the
synagogue official, Jairus. In John chapter 11 the
raising of Lazarus from the dead provokes growing
antagonism to Jesus as his death draws near. The raising of
the son of the widow of Nain in Luke’s gospel has particular
features. The evangelist stresses the large number of people
who witness this mighty deed and he emphasises the
compassion of Jesus. This woman is already a widow, and
now she has lost her only son, who presumably would have been her only
support. The first words of Jesus are to the woman herself. He addresses her
with the simple command ‘Do not cry.’ In John chapter 20 the risen Jesus says
to Mary Magdalene ‘Why are you weeping?’ Tears shed at the loss of the
beloved are wiped away by the joy of the resurrection. Jesus’ words to the
young man are brief and straightforward: ‘Young man, I tell you to get up.’
Literally, ‘Young man, I tell you, be raised up.’ When he raises the dead,
Jesus points towards the resurrection. Jesus’ first concern continues to be for
the mother: ‘Jesus gave him to his mother.’ He comes to confront sin and
death, but also to heal the broken-hearted. The reaction of the crowd is to
proclaim Jesus a prophet. The raising of the young man by the prophet Elijah
in the first Book of Kings is our first reading. In the verses following our
gospel reading Luke records the question of the messengers sent by John the
Baptist: ‘Are you the one who is to come?’ (7:20) Jesus replies: ‘Go back and
tell John what you have seen……the dead are raised and the Good News is
proclaimed to the poor.’ (7:22)
