Luke 11, 47 – 54

by Fr. Luis A. Zazano
Luke 11, 47-54

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11,47-54

The Lord said: “Woe to you! You build the memorials of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.
Consequently, you bear witness and give consent to the deeds of your ancestors, for they killed them and you do the building.
Therefore, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and persecute’
in order that this generation might be charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world,
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who died between the altar and the temple building. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be charged with their blood!
Woe to you, scholars of the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter.”
When he left, the scribes and Pharisees began to act with hostility toward him and to interrogate him about many things,
for they were plotting to catch him at something he might say.

Seek, change and grow

1) Seek: This refers to reviewing our soul and searching for what gives meaning to our life but also, with great honesty and without lying to ourselves, it involves searching for what leads us to fall into weaknesses that many times we blame on others. And even more, to make a good impression, we’re capable of lying and defaming others. It’s time to stop blaming someone else and victimizing ourselves, it’s time to see how many brothers and sisters have been ‘buried’ in our lives, leaving them aside because they’ve tried to help us or have pointed out our mistakes.

2) Change: is seeing and understanding that it is never too late to be better, whoever wants to change, can do so. In your life you will find many prophets who appear to mark the way for you. There also situations and occasions that reveal to you God’s will in your life. Today you have the possibility to change your life and that of those around you.

3) Growing: is growing together without destroying one another or imposing our beliefs on others. We are a pilgrim Church, a Church that walks together towards God. We walk together and we have to be united. Growing entails giving confidence and trusting. Growing is opening up to others and letting them into our life. Growing demands accepting our mistakes and taking responsibility for them without looking to one side. Growing is contemplating the future without forgetting our present and accepting our past. Growing involves being united, being Christians who see the best of others, and try to help one another. I dream of a united Church, in which there is no search for particular interests, the only interest we should have is to bring souls to Jesus. I invite you to dream that God makes your dreams come true. Let’s dream….

God bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And don’t forget to pray the Rosary
