Dear Friend in the Lord,
“God our Father’s Providence” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus prophesised fearlessly; that He will die in Jerusalem, according to His Father’s Providence. Ponder on, “God knows: when and where we were born and will die. However, God never fails to bless us abundantly; challenge us frequently; and protect us lovingly. . . ‘Do we wisely; put God at the centre of our lives?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 13:31-35
Some Pharisees came up. ‘Go away,’ they said. ‘Leave this place, because Herod means to kill you. He replied, ‘You may go and give that fox this message: Look! Today and tomorrow I drive out devils and heal, and on the third day I attain my end. But for today and tomorrow and the next day I must go on, since it would not be right for a prophet to die outside Jerusalem.
‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often have I longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you refused! Look! Your house will be left to you. Yes, I promise you, you shall not see me till the time comes when you are saying: Blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord!’
