Gospel
Mark 8:11-13
Why does this generation seek a sign?
The Pharisees came forward and began to argue with Jesus, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him. He sighed from the depth of his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” Then he left them, got into the boat again, and went off to the other shore.
Reflection
When i look at this reading the Pharisees were looking for signs to bring Jesus down. Today the people even those follower of Christ are no different. They go to the feng shui master, read the horoscope and visit palm reader looking for signs of how to increase wealth. Little do we realise this is questioning our faith in God? Are you one of those who seek the fengshui master or read the horoscope?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus this reading tells us we dont need a sign for you are the sign of salvation. May we always keep our faith in you for you are the way,the truth and the light.
Amen
