Our Gospel for Oct 11, Monday. "The Demand for a Sign."

Luke 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. Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. At the judgment the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and there is something greater than Solomon here. At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented,and there is something greater than Jonah here.”

Marami sa atin ang na iimpress sa mga milagro o kaya mga magic kaya naman pag may mga nababalitaan tayong mga lumuluhang rebulto, umuulan ng rose petals, mga healing series ng mga pari ay tiyak na tayo'y paparoon at gustong gusto nating makita mismo ng ating mga mata at malaman kung ito nga'y totoo o talagang nangyayari.

In our gospel today, binanggit dito ang tungkol sa mga naghahanap ng mga palatandaan mula sa langit bago sila maniwala, dahil ang tao ay likas na naniniwala sa kasabihang "to see is to believe."

In John 20:24-29, Doubting Thomas said, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe." Bagamat ano ang sabi ni Hesus? "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Sa panahon na ito ay kailangang kailangan nating i exercise ang ating FAITH, kagaya ng isang muscle sa katawan. Kailangang palakihin at palakasin natin ang FAITH na ito in such a way na hindi ito pwedeng matinag ng kahit ano mang pagsubok, problema, kahirapan, kakapusan, kawalan at kung ano pa man, dahil ito lamang ang nagbibigay buhay sa atin bilang isang kristiyano.

Lord Jesus help us to increase our Faith!

God bless us all more than we can imagine!
