‘Why does this generation seek a sign?’
Mark 8:11-13

At that time: The Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him. And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, ‘Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.’ And he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.

The Gospel of the Lord

A Sign of Love

Two days ago, we celebrated the feast of Saint Claude de la Colombière. What stands out most about him is his great act of trust—something completely opposite to the distrust of the Pharisees, who demanded a sign from Jesus as proof.
Let it not be so among us. Let us trust, and we will see many signs.

Applied to Married Life:

James: We’ve fallen again. How embarrassing. It’s as if we were beginners.
Lucy: Yes. But the Lord has allowed it so we can realise that without Him, we are nothing. Still, we trust because we know how much He loves us. Trusting in Him, whatever has happened doesn’t matter. The Lord knows we love each other, and we love Him, even in our weakness.
James: In Him, we trust, and in Him, we find joy.

Mother,

We don’t need any more signs because we already know that the Lord loves us. Praise be to Him forever.
