28 September 2021 - ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS

#SamaritanOpposition #Rejection #Revenge #GodAndJustice TOPIC: ARE YOUR THOUGHTS SWIMMING IN ANGER, UNFORGIVENESS AND REVENGE? First Reading: Zechariah 8:20-23 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 87:1B-3, 4-5, 6-7 Alleluia: Mark 10:45 Gospel: Luke 9:51-56 In today’s gospel reading, Jesus and His disciples are on their way to Jerusalem for His eventual passion, death and resurrection. Passing through Samaria would give them a convenient shortcut. But Samaritans were hostile to the Jews and refuse Jesus’ company’s entry. James and John angrily want to call out fire from heaven for their insult on their Master. What was Jesus' response? This is the 539th installment of our CFC quarantine contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on   / cfchrist   and Bong Arjonillo’s Facebook page and on You Tube. Just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
