M for Message
Messages, we receive plenty of them!
Those which used to come to us through the mail still reach us.
But the many platforms of the social media are now a more importance source. 
Permanent connection, continuous information, repeated messages in loop – each second downloads them!
Each message brings its contents and… the emotions it awakens…
All comes our way: Information, invitations, questions, challenges…
Ask yourself the question: What was the latest message you received?
What was your reaction when you learnt what it said?
In the gospel of Mark, there is an interesting scene about this subject.
We meet Jairus, the leader of the synagogue asking Jesus to come and heal his daughter seriously ill (Mark 5:22-43).
Already on the way, Jesus stops to heal a woman who has been sick for a long time.
At that moment, some people arrive from Jairus’ home bringing a message to him:
“Your daughter is dead,” they said.
“Why bother the teacher anymore?”
Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him,
‘Don’t be afraid; just believe’.”
The young girl is already dead, what hope is there still?
Jesus tells Jairus not to be afraid… to believe…
I stop and I ask myself how I would have received these words?…
To believe that God is with us even when we seem unable to overcome what cannot be overcome?
To believe that we are never alone?…
To believe that God does not leave us on our own to face the desperate situations we have to deal with?…
To believe that, from death… God can draw… some good… life itself?…
It seems to me that, from deep within myself, I hear ‘a small voice’ whispering:
‘A real feat it is!’
Yes… to believe as He alone can enable us to do…
