TODAY'S WORD

"Do you not yet understand?"
(MARK 8:21)
TODAY'S REFLECTION
In the 1st reading, the people could not perceive that they were sinning greatly against the Lord.
Their hearts were hardened and coarsened by wickedness and sin and they cannot understand the evil they were doing.
In the gospel, the disciples thought that Jesus was talking about bread when Jesus warned them to keep their eyes open and to be on their guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.
Jesus had to ask them, "Have you no perception?" Obviously the disciples do not understand what they see and what they hear.
QUESTIONS TO PONDER
Do I seek JESUS ABOVE ALL?
Do I feel very uncomfortable and lost spiritually, when things seem too alien or situations seem to be too familiar?
RESOLUTION
Let us resolve and pray that the Lord our God will soften our hearts with His love so that we will always be able to perceive His presence and do what is pleasing in His eyes.
GOD BLESS YOU Have a lovely day.
