- "And the Lord ... said unto her, Weep not. And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still." - The mystical and very practical meaning of these words. (mp3 format)
Luke 7:11-16 Galatians 5:22-6:2

SYNOPSIS:Only the Lord has the authority to tell us to "weep not". There is an epidemic of dysfunctional sadness in the world today; it is being treated by many partial solutions that often increase the despair and emptiness: medications, entertainments, passions. After His command to the Widow of Nain, the Lord mystically gives us the path we must travel in order to fulfill His command to "weep not" - "And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still." There is no other path that leads to true happiness. We explore the mystical meaning of these words, also incorporating an epistle read today: "And they that are Christ&'s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." and "Bear ye one another&'s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.", and offer many practical suggestions on what we must do to live according to these words. the only key to happiness is here. The World does not have it; only Christ does, and through the healing of the Widow of Nain and the exhortation of St Paul to the Galatians, the path to it is clearly explained.
