Twenty-eighth Week in Ordinary Time
Dear my friends,
Here is the Gospel for us today according to Luke 11:47-54
Jesus Christ says, “Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. So you are witnesses and consent to the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their tombs. Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, `I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’ that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it shall be required of this generation. Woe to you lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.” As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard, and to provoke him to speak of many things, lying in wait for him, to catch at something he might say.
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

THE Gospel today tells us that the scribes and the Pharisees began to press Jesus hard, and to provoke him to speak of many things, lying in wait for him, to catch at something he might say. From this episode we know that God’s wisdom is personified in the voice of Jesus, a voice that brought rejection and death because he spoke for God rather than for human favor and approval.
Exactly yes for me, Jesus Christ is the Wisdom of God and source of our everlasting life. We have to be humble for being receptive to accept him. Humility helps us to be receptive to acceptbhim.
In the Perpetual Adoration of the Eucharist while worshipping Jesus Christ we learn to be humble to accept him. We are thirst for God.
Let’s pray: Lord Jesus Christ, you are ever ready to speak your word to us and to give us true wisdom and understanding. May your word take root in our heart and transform all our thoughts and actions now and forever. Amen.
