Twenty-nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time
Dear my friends,
Here is the Gospel for us today according to Luke 12:54-59
He also said to the multitudes, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, `A shower is coming’; and so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, `There will be scorching heat’; and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know how to interpret the present time? “And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. I tell you, you will never get out till you have paid the very last copper.”
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

THE Gospel today tells us about Jesus Christ who expects us to accurately read the signs of the times! Reading the signs of the times is very important for us to know and to do the will of God!
It is a spiritual discerning. Our need for accurately discerning the spiritual condition and moral climate around us is vital if we want to avert spiritual crisis and moral disaster.
In the Perpetual Adoration of the Eucharist while wirshipping Jesus Christ we learn to exercise our capability to spiritual discerning. We also realize that we all stand in need of God’s mercy, grace, and protection. He is our healer and he is ready to set us free from any sinful patterns of thinking, acting, and speaking.
Let’s pray: Lord Jesus Christ, we give our lives over to you. Fill us with your Holy Spirit and give us a new heart and a transformed mind that is filled with your truth, love, and goodness. Transform our mind that we may discern what is right and choose what is good and pleasing to you now and forever. Amen.
