Monday of the Twenty-eighth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text
Lk 11:29-32
Lk 11:29-32
While still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah."
Gospel's Commentary
Today Jesus is forceful. You can tell He is upset! Why? He is tired of people asking Him for miracles and then, when He performs them, saying that He is possessed by a demon… Once again, the same old story: God is not a circus performer; He does not perform “little miracles” to entertain people, but to relieve the suffering of the poor. Here is the “great miracle”: on the third day He appeared alive—like Jonah!—after giving His Life for you on the Cross.
—Twenty-one centuries have now passed: may God help us to have more faith than that “exasperating” generation.
