GOSPEL OF THE DAY

From the Gospel according to Luke
LK 9:7-9

Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening,
and he was greatly perplexed because some were saying,
“John has been raised from the dead”;
others were saying, “Elijah has appeared”;
still others, “One of the ancient prophets has arisen.”
But Herod said, “John I beheaded.
Who then is this about whom I hear such things?”
And he kept trying to see him.

The word of the Lord

Bewildered.

God’s matters are incomprehensible to ordinary people, therefore it is great not to understand everything that is happening, because it confirms that God exists and that He intervenes in our lives. Hence, in those moments, recognise Him and… Rejoice!

 

Grounded in Married Life:

Juanjo: When do you mainly experience the presence of the Lord in our lives?

Esther: Usually when I do not understand what is happening, if I have done something inappropriate and it get stuck in my consciousness, it does not give me peace of mind. When the Lord allowed situations to strengthen my love to Him, at first I do not understand anything, but if I continue acting with Love and faith, then I see the fruits.

 

Mother,

Who are we that you remember us? Praise be to you for so much Love.
