Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Live for God” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed, Do not be afraid of those who can kill the body; but, fear those who have the power to cast you into hell.” Ponder on, “Pray for the Holy Spirit’s Light and Wisdom, to live our life for God, and not in the falsehood of: our earthly comforts, material securities; that cannot last. We can die anytime.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 12:1-5
The people had gathered in their thousands so that they were treading on one another. And Jesus began to speak, first of all to his disciples. ‘Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees – that is, their hypocrisy. Everything that is now covered will be uncovered, and everything now hidden will be made clear. For this reason, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in hidden places will be proclaimed on the housetops.’
‘To you my friends I say: Do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. I will tell you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has the power to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.’
