St John of Kronstadt
We must never allow the seeds of doubt
nor disbelief
enter our soul.
It will be bad for us,
if at the time of our Prayers,
our heart is hovering between Faith and disbelief –
if our Faith is not firmly established.
We cannot expect our Lord to grant us
anything we might ask Him for
if our Faith is not firmly rooted
in His Divine Truth.

HEALED AFTER 38 YEARS BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
is At that time our Lord Jesus went up
to Jerusalem.
There is in Jerusalem, by the Sheep
Gate, a pool, which is called in
Hebrew: ‘Bethesda,’ having five
porches.
In these lay a great multitude of sick
people: blind, lame and paralysed –
waiting for the moving of the water.
An Angel went down at a certain time
into the pool and stirred up the
water.
stepped in first, after the
stirring of the water, was made well
of whatever disease he had.
certain man was there who had an
infirmity for thirty-eight years.
When Jesus saw him lying there, and
knew that he already had been in
that condition for a long time, He
said to him: “Do you want to be
made well?”
The sick man answered Him: “Sir, I
have no man to put me into the pool
when the water is stirred up; and
while I am going, another steps
down before me.”
Jesus said to him: “Rise. Take up your
bed and walk.”
And immediately the man was made
well, took up his bed and walked.
That day was the Sabbath.
The Hebrews, therefore, said to him

the linen cloths lying by themselves;

himself at what had happened.

Emmaus, which was seven miles from
Jerusalem.
THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES ACCORDING TO ST LUKE 9 : 32 - 42
they discussed together all these
things that had happened.
Jesus Himself drew near and went
with them.
Their eyes were restrained, so that they
did not recognise Him.
asked them: “What kind of
conversation is this that you have
with one another as you walk and
are sad?”
The one whose name was Cleopas
answered, saying to Him: “Art Thou
the only Stranger in Jerusalem, and
does Thou not know the things that
have happened there in these days?”
And He said to them: “What things?”
They said to Him: “The things
concerning Jesus of Nazareth, Who
was a Prophet Mighty in Deed and
Word before God and all the people;
and how the Chief Priests and our
Rulers delivered Him to be
condemned to death, and crucified
Him.
“We were hoping that it was He Who was
going to Redeem Israel.
“But, besides all this, today is the third
day since these things happened.
“However, certain Women of our
company, astonished us by going very
early to the Tomb.
And when they did not find His Body,
they beheld a Vision of Angels who
said He is alive!
“And certain of those who were with us
went to the Tomb and found it just as
the women had said; but Him they did
