Lord Jesus, you had
compassion for
the widow whose only
son had died.
There are many widows
today who
have lost all their
children--disease,
hunger, war and
conspiracies to kill.
Tears are their
food--often their only
food--day and night,
and continually
they ask, "Where
are you, O God"?
Have you strayed from
them, or is
it that the world
strayed from you?
