Gospel Lk 10:21-24
The purity of a child’s heart and the love of their parents are borne out this scripture reading. The revelation of God the Father and the relationship between Jesus and His Father is wondrous in this passage, and that the revelation continues through the Holy Spirit each day of our lives. Perhaps we should ponder for a moment on the beauty of The Trinity revealed through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Gospel Lk 21:34-36
Our day to day lives sometimes drown out or obscure the time we need to communicate and contemplate God. These distractions have a tendency to pile up, until we become totally tuned out to God’s message. I pray that today, I may keep the channel that is tuned to God open and that His love may be reflected in my actions and deeds.
Gospel Lk 21:20-28
Those who have rejected Jesus will pay a price. There really is no shorthand for doing so. How do we internalize this … do we reject Jesus knowingly, or do we just sometimes misunderstand Him? This passage speaks directly to the times we reject Him knowingly and those that do so. There are consequences, although we try and avoid describing a “fire and brimstone” vengeful God. Just as in the Old Testament the prophecy of Destruction is followed by Restoration for those that follow him.
Jesus then describes the path of redemption and love, through His mission, and invites us to join him in safety and comfort for all times.
