Gospel
Luke 19:45-48
You have turned God's house into a robbers' den
Jesus went into the Temple and began driving out those who were selling. ‘According to scripture,’ he said ‘my house will be a house of prayer. But you have turned it into a robbers’ den.’
He taught in the Temple every day. The chief priests and the scribes, with the support of the leading citizens, tried to do away with him, but they did not see how they could carry this out because the people as a whole hung on his words.
Reflection
The Garden of Eden is God's house where God meet Adam and Eve everyday until they were chase out for disobeying God.
In remembrance man built temple. A temple is God's house. It is a place of worship and a place where man meet God. It is supposed to be a peaceful and quiet place. Christ in this reading was angry because the temple is turned into a market place. Our body is also God's temple. How do we take care of our body?
Let us pray
May your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, this place of which you said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so hear our prayer oh Lord for we are merely your humble servant.
Amen
