Alleluia, alleluia. I have chosen and consecrated this house, says the Lord, that my name may be there forever. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel: John 2:13-22 And the Passover of the Jews was near, and so Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And he found sitting in the temple sellers of oxen, sheep, and doves, and the moneychangers. And when he had made a whip out of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, including the sheep and the oxen. He poured out the coins of the moneychangers and overturned their tables. And to those who were selling doves, he said: “Take these things out of here, and do not make my Father’s house into a house of commerce.” His disciples were reminded that it is written: “Zeal for your house consumes me.” Then the Jews responded and said to him, “What sign can you show us to justify doing these things?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking about the temple of his body. Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed in the Scriptures and in the word that Jesus had spoken. == Saturday, November 9, 2024 - A moment with GOD through HIS WORD. Reflection: What areas of your life need to be cleansed or renewed so that you can live more fully as a member of Christ’s Body? Prayer: My zealous Lord, Your heart burns with a deep desire to cleanse me and all Your children from sin. Your zeal reveals Your deep love and Your willingness to do all that You can to make me a fuller member of Your Body, the Church. Open my mind and will, dear Lord, to all that You wish to say to me and give me the grace to respond to Your purifying action in my life. Jesus, I trust in You.
