Rhonda the maid was so
overjoyed
upon hearing Peter's voice
that
she left him standing while
she ran to announce
his presence.
Jesus reassured the
widow whose only son had
died; he had compassion for
her.
God, you are merciful and
gracious,
slow to anger, abounding
in steadfast love.
You heard the prayer
of Hezekiah on his deathbed;
you saw his tears, you healed
him.
Teach us how to respond to
those
who need our assistance,
for they are many.
