In raising the widow's son, Jesus offers a model of the Christian way of life of service.
He "saw", he had "compassion", he said "rise up".
We, too, ought to engage the world to be aware of what is around us, have compassion for the pain and needs of others, then bear forth the fruits of compassion, which are acts of meaningful service.
