“Jesus journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him. As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her. When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, "Do not weep." He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!" The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, "A great prophet has arisen in our midst," and "God has visited his people." This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.” -Luke 7:11-17
 
“When the Lord saw her, He was moved with pity for her.” And so, also is He for you and me. 
 
I have seen the vile abyss of hell and the terror of purgatory. I have lived in glorious power, light, and love of God, and I have swum in the endless ocean of Christ’s mercy.
 
I have experienced all this, yet I still cannot comprehend how much Jesus loves us, cares for us, embraces us, pities us, and saves us. Jesus is our only hope. To those who remain here, He says, “Do not weep.” To the ones who have departed, He steps forward, touching them, commanding them, “I tell you, arise!”
