Lamentations 3:22-23, 33, 32
A reading from the Light of the Ages:
22Because of God’s overwhelming goodness we don’t come to a bad end. God’s love never fails; 23it is renewed with the dawn. Great is your faithfulness!
33The Eternal doesn’t take pleasure in the misfortunes or difficulties of humanity, not at all! 32When bad things happen, God’s goodness breaks through; God’s great love never fails us!*
The Light of the Ages!

The Light of a Teacher of Truth
Healers on Healing
A reading from the light of Gerald Jampolsky:
Healing is letting God write the script of my life. It is choosing to let God’s will and my will be one…
Healing is knowing that forgiveness is the key to happiness and offers me everything that I want. Healing is knowing that the only reality in the universe is love, and that love is the most important healer known to the world.
The Light of Wisdom!
The Light of the Master Teacher
Mark 7:24-30
Our God be with you.
And also with you.
A reading from the Good News according to Mark.
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
24Jesus traveled from the region of Galilee over to the Mediterranean coast, near the city of Tyre. He wanted some quiet rest, but the minute he entered the house his secret was out. 25One woman who heard he was there came running to see him. She had a daughter who was not right inside, who was always in turmoil. 26She was not Jewish, but a stranger to these parts; her hometown was Phoenicia, up north in Syria. She fell at Jesus’ feet, begging him to drive the evil out of her daughter.
27“Wait a minute! The children get fed first!” he told her. “It’s not right to take food from the children and toss it to the dogs.”
28“Of course, Master,” she replied, “but even the dogs get the scraps dropped by the children.”
29“Good answer!” said Jesus. “On your feet. Your daughter’s set free. She’ll not be troubled anymore.” 30She jumped up, ran home, and found her child, no longer tossed and tormented but resting comfortably in bed.
This is the Good News...the Gospel!
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
