Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 12, 38-42
Some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus,
“Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.”
He said to them in reply,
“An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign,
but no sign will be given it
except the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights,
so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth
three days and three nights.
At the judgment, the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation
and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah;
and there is something greater than Jonah here.
At the judgment the queen of the south will arise with this generation
and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth
to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
and there is something greater than Solomon here.”
Signs that are sensitive to your look
1. Signs. In life, it’s always necessary to discern. That is, to have the ability to know how to choose. We must go through a process in order to choose well, and in this process there must be prayer, signs, and dialogue. Prayer to ask God for clarity, peace within you and noticeable signs that call your attention to guide you and help you along the way. And dialogue to talk about the matter with your spiritual guide or the person who accompanies you in life, since two heads are better than one.
2. Evil generation. There are times when we insist on something and demand our way. It’s complicated when you only complain and there’s nothing that can satisfy you. There are always obstacles that ruin your peace or happiness, and often, you yourself seek out those problems. That’s why today you’re invited to open your eyes and look at life with a different perspective, to strive for improvement and to live a more fulfilling life.
3. Someone greater. In life, there are prophets that God puts along our way, people who come from God and take you to Him. There are people that come to us in order for us to react and change our ways. Christians are called upon to illuminate other people’s lives and accompany those who need a little push in order to keep moving forward. We’re called to support, uplift and embrace the people that have fallen, especially those struggling or feeling isolated. St. Francis was not afraid to hug a leper. You should follow his example and not be afraid to hug and show your affection to others. Embrace and accompany your brothers and sisters who need healing and forgiveness. Embracing and accompanying those in need is a vital sign our society needs.
Never forget that something good is on the way!
God bless you and protect you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
