Gospel text
Lk 11:15-26
Lk 11:15-26
Some of the crowd said: “By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons.” Others, to test him, asked him for a sign from heaven.
Gospel's Commentary
Today we must learn a fundamental lesson: the only valid response before God is our faith, opening our hearts to Him with trust. Without faith, we “get ourselves all confused” and become foolish: we see a miracle and say He is possessed by a demon, but immediately we demand another miracle from Him.
—Finally, when Jesus publicly and solemnly declared that He is the “Son of God,” instead of rejoicing, we sent Him to Calvary and hung Him on the Cross. Are we in our right minds? Certainly, “whoever is not with Me (…) scatters.”
