Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Guilt and Fear” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, King Herod was confused and fearful, to hear about Jesus proclaiming God’s Word. He thought it was John the Baptist, whom he had beheaded. Ponder on, “When we do not live according to God’s Will and commit sins; our guilt will create fears, that rob us of our spiritual peace of God’s Presence within us.
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 9:7-9
Herod the tetrarch had heard about all that was going on; and he was puzzled, because some people were saying that John had risen from the dead, others that Elijah had reappeared, still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.
But Herod said, ‘John? I beheaded him. So who is this I hear such reports about?’ And he was anxious to see him.
