In today’s Gospel, the
Pharisees and Herodians were sent to Jesus to ensnare him in his speech. Their
ultimate goal was to find a way to justify their plan to destroy Him. The world of today is populated with men and
women determined to destroy the Sacred in our midst. In every segment of
society the will of our Creator is smothered beneath rationalizations of all
kinds. Abortions are legalized, as, now, is euthanasia in some States. Just as
you questioned the Pharisees and
Herodians, “why are you testing me?” I hear you asking that same question of
humankind today. And just as you amazed those
in authority in your day, so, too, will you amaze us when justice is meted out
to the hypocrites in the social circles of our day.
Lord, I pray for mercy for all of us, especially when we are hypocritical
in how we relate to one another. Expose
the truth, Lord, as only You can. Bring
our wills into harmony with yours and make us one with You and with one another
as You and the Father are one.
