Jesus gave him to his mother

“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.” (LK 7: 13-15)

Our Lord came to us as a Redeemer and Savior. He takes care of us and our relationships. When we give our lives to Him, we can expect from Him a renewal of our relationships—“Jesus gave him to his mother.”

“A great prophet has arisen in our midst and God has visited his people.” (Gospel Acclamation)
