Thursday (October 31):"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"

Scripture: Luke 13:31-35

At that very hour some Pharisees came, and said to him, "Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you." And he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, `Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course. Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.' O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, `Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

Reflection:

Tagpasidan’an nan mga Pharisee si Jesus na moiwat sa Jerusalem kay gusto kuno Sija pat’jon ni Herod pero aja man hinoon sila pasidan’i ‘sab pagbalik ni Lord na mas nameligro an ila mga espirirtu sanan lawas na mahi-empiyerno kon dili sila mamatî sa mensahero ni God.

Tag-abrihan ni Jesus an tanan dayan para datô para kita makasuyod sa langitnon na bayay ni God pinaagi Dija kay mga anak man kita Nija na kinahanglan proteksiyonan - proteksiyon sa pagpakasayâ.

"Lord Jesus, I place all my trust and hope in you. Come make your home with me and take possession of my heart and will that I may wholly desire what is pleasing to you. Fill my heart with love and mercy for others that I may boldly witness to the truth and joy of the gospel through word and example, both to those who accept it and to those who oppose it."
