Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Faith – Deep or Hypocritical?”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus was upset at the Pharisees for asking Him for a sign to test whether He is truly the Messiah or not. The Pharisees were living a hypocritical faith. Ponder on, “When we are not sincere in the way we live our faith, can we expect Jesus to respond to our prayers for miracles and other needs?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Mark 8:11-13
The Pharisees came up and started a discussion with Jesus; they demanded of him a sign from heaven, to put him to the test.
And with a profound sigh he said, ‘Why does this generation demand a sign? In truth I tell you, no sign shall be given to this generation.’ And, leaving them again, he re-embarked and went away to the other side.
