Gospel
Luke 12:1-7
Even the hairs of your head have all been counted.
At that time: So many people were crowding together that they were trampling one another underfoot. Jesus began to speak, first to his disciples, “Beware of the leaven–that is, the hypocrisy–of the Pharisees.
“There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops. I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more. I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one. Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.”
Reflection
The reading share three important points. 1. Whatever is done in the dark sooner or later will come out in the open.2. Fear God so as not to sin.Other wise our soul can be thrown to hell. 3. God cares for each one of us. He watches us like the parable of the prodigal son. He watches and waited for the child to come home. Do we live in fear of God so as not to sin?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus help us to be strong so as not to sin. We know time and time again we fail because of surrendering to the world. May the holy spirit guide us in this journey of faith.
Amen
