Monday of the 28th Week in Ordinary Time - Luke 11:29-32
Today Jesus picks up from where he left off in
yesterday’s Gospel. Today Jesus bluntly tells his listeners: “This
generation is an evil generation! The people seek a sign, yet no sign
will be given except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then likens himself to
Jonah. He says that just as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, he, Jesus,
is the sign for this generation.
I suspect that we human beings at times also ask
Jesus or God for a sign. Perhaps we hope Jesus will affirm a decision we
are making. Or we simply would like to receive a sign that Jesus is
present with us. Personally, I always want my sign to be clear and
evident! Is Jesus enough of a sign for us? Or do we desire
something more visible or tangible? Will we trust that Jesus is present
to us now and in every moment of our lives? Today and always may we believe
that Jesus is the sign given to us by God. May we trust that Jesus is with
us every moment of the day!
