Friday of the Twenty-sixth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text
Lk 10:13-16
Lk 10:13-16
Jesus said to them, "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes."
Gospel's Commentary
Today we see Jesus turn His gaze toward those cities of Galilee that had received His special care and where He had preached and carried out the works of the Father. Nowhere had He preached and performed miracles as much as in Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum. The sowing had been abundant, but the harvest was poor. Not even Jesus could convince them…!
—Not even Jesus could convince them…! What a mystery human freedom is: we can say “NO” to God!
