| First Reading: Psalm: Gospel: | Job 3:1-3, 11-17, 20-23 Psalm 88:2-8 Luke 9:51-56 |
Luke 9:53 but the people would not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.
How often do we bite off our nose to spite our face? Because Jesus was going to Jerusalem the Samaritans would have nothing to do with him. This is arrogance and pride that destroys, but even prevents us from coming to know Christ. They lost an opportunity because of their bigotry and resentment,
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always seek to be filled with grace. Help me to give people the benefit of the doubt and not to be prejudice to the point of rejecting you.
Amen
