Romans 7: 18-25; Psalm 119; Luke 12:54-59
In Luke 12, Jesus seems disturbed, angry and actually used the word “stressed” in yesterday’s gospel. Today he calls the crowds hypocrites because they do not know how to interpret the signs of the times. John XXIII called Vatican II to address the signs of the times. He said we need new language to clothe ancient truths. And now?
What do you remember of Vatican II? Do you remember anything about church life before this ecumenical council? What benefits have you received from interpreting the signs of the times? Pray for church leaders, that they continue, expand and deepen Blessed John’s vision.
Entrance antiphon: “The Lord is my light and my salvation. Of whom should I be afraid? The Lord is the defender of our lives? Who can make us tremble?”
