Gospel
Luke 12:54-59
Do you not know how to interpret these times?
Jesus said to the crowds: ‘When you see a cloud looming up in the west you say at once that rain is coming, and so it does. And when the wind is from the south you say it will be hot, and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the face of the earth and the sky. How is it you do not know how to interpret these times?
‘Why not judge for yourselves what is right? For example: when you go to court with your opponent, try to settle with him on the way, or he may drag you before the judge and the judge hand you over to the bailiff and the bailiff have you thrown into prison. I tell you, you will not get out till you have paid the very last penny.’
Reflection
This passage begins with Jesus talking about mankind can predict what will happen to the weather base on the signs in the sky.Sad to say when it comes to warning signs on sin mankind take it lightly. The parable is a warning for us to reconcile with our neighbour and God to avoid going to hell . We must do it quickly.
We must not wait.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus all of us want to enter the kingdom of God . However sin and pride are holding us back. Help us oh lord to always continue to be united with you in this journey of faith.
Amen
