Saturday of the 25th Week in Ordinary Time - Luke
9:43b-45
The Gospel today is the continuation of the
conversation that Jesus had with his disciples in yesterday’s reading. Jesus
tells the apostles to listen up. He knows that the road ahead of him is going
to be very difficult and also troubling for them. They had
been with Jesus on the journey for a long time so they had to be aware of the
conflict between Jesus and the Sanhedrin. I wonder what the apostles’
conversation was like after Jesus told them that he would be handed over. Did
they have any idea of what would come? Luke says that the meaning was “hidden”
from the apostles and that the apostles didn’t want to ask Jesus what he meant.
Jesus must have felt very alone on this journey.
I am sure that there have been times in your life when you also felt very
alone. At these times let us turn to Jesus who always is with us. Jesus will be there! May we also have the
courage to open our hearts to someone we trust. God works through them also!
