Today’s Reflection: Tears Turn Into Joy for Those Who Believe!
Readings:
- First Reading: Isaiah 65:17-21
- Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 30:2,4-6,11-12a,13b
- Gospel: John 4:43-54
God promises a new heaven and a new earth, where sorrow and weeping will be no more (Isaiah 65:17-21). This promise brings hope in the midst of a broken world.
In the Gospel, a royal official comes to Jesus in desperation because his son is dying. Yet he believes in Jesus’ word even before seeing any sign: “Go, your son will live.” His simple faith leads to a miraculous healing.
Today’s Psalm echoes with thanksgiving: “O Lord my God, I cried out to you and you healed me.” God is faithful. He can turn mourning into dancing and despair into joy—for those who trust Him.
Prayer
Lord, teach us to trust in Your word, even in the darkest moments. Strengthen our hope in Your promise of restoration. Turn our sorrow into praise and our faith into strength. Amen.
God bless ❤️,
