- John 11:25-26 -
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes
in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me
will never die. Do you believe this?"

Jesus has power over life and death as well as power to forgive sins. This
is because he is the Creator of life (John 14:6). He who is life can surely
restore life. Whoever believes in Christ has a spiritual life that death
cannot conquer or diminish in any way. When we realize his power and how
wonderful his offer to us really is, how can we help but commit our lives to
him! To those of us who believe, what wonderful assurance and certainty we
have: "Because I live, you also will live" (John 14:19).

June 20th - Blessed Michelina
Michelina was born in 1300, in Pesaro, Italy. Her family was wealthy and she
married a rich man. Michelina was a happy person by nature. She seemed
always like she did not have a problem in the world. But when she was just
twenty, her husband died. All of a sudden, Michelina found herself alone
with a little son to raise.
The young mother seemed anxious to find happiness in the things around her.
Her life became a stream of parties and fun and fancy meals. She couldn't
seem to have enough of the good things that life offered. After a while, she
realized that she had to be with her child more. She also had to be
accountable for how she used her money and time. She felt so empty inside.
Michelina finally settled down and became a responsible adult.
A holy Franciscan lay woman lived in Pesaro. Her name was Syriaca. Syriaca
realized that Michelina was really a wonderful person who needed direction
and help to be more spiritual. Syriaca and Michelina became friends and the
holy woman greatly influenced her. Michelina became prayerful. She took care
of her child and home with diligence. She spent her free time serving the
poor and needy. She visited the lonely and took care of those too sick or
too old to look after themselves. Eventually, she became a lay Francis-can.
At first, her relatives were concerned when she gave away her fancy clothes
and started to eat plain food. But after a while, they became convinced that
Michelina was truly a spiritual woman.
Michelina lived her whole life in the same house in Pesaro. She died in 1356
at the age of fifty-six. In her memory, the people of her town kept a lamp
always lit in her home. In 1590, Blessed Michelina's house was made into a
church.

The mystery and glory of Christ
Praise the Lord, all you nations!
He was manifested in flesh, justified in spirit - praise the Lord, all you
