Gospel: Matthew 11: 20-24
Our gospel reading today from Matthew 11:20-24, Jesus addressed the towns where a lot of His mighty deeds were done, for even if these towns have already seen a lot of Christ’s miracles and healing, they still did not repent from their sins.
Do we find ourselves in the similar situation at some points in our life, whenever we become hard-headed, when we are already getting a lot of signs and messages about what God is asking of us to do, but we still choose not to follow Him and try to justify ourselves instead. We may say that we believe in God, we pray, we go to Church, we participate in Christian communities, but it doesn’t mean that we do not go through situations when our faith in God is being challenged.
This is the 1190th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: As we continue to pray for Bro Bong Arjonillo’s healing and recovery, let us listen to our brother Lawrence Quintero, a member of the CFC International Council, as he brings us today's reflection.]
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 Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
