Gospel Reflection

When we set our minds on God’s reign,
our hearts on God’s justice,
everything else will be ours as well.

Listen to Jesus who proclaims good news,
which he alone fulfills.

Gospel Reading - Woe on Unrepentant Towns

thumb

20Then he began to pour out his denunciations against the cities where he had done most of his miracles, because they hadn’t turned to God.

21“Woe to you, Chorazin, and woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles I did in your streets had been done in wicked Tyre and Sidon,a their people would have repented long ago in shame and humility. 22Truly, Tyre and Sidon will be better off on the Judgment Day than you! 23And Capernaum, though highly honored,b shall go down to hell! For if the marvelous miracles I did in you had been done in Sodom, it would still be here today. 24 Truly, Sodom will be better off at the Judgment Day than you.”

. . . . .Matthew 11:20-24
  1. Cities destroyed by God for their wickedness. Also Sodom in v. 23.
  2. i.e., highly honored by Christ’s being there.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
     hallowed be your name,
     your kingdom come,
     your will be done,
          on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
     as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
     and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
     now and for ever.
Amen.
