Gospel: Luke
9:43b-45
While
they were all amazed at his every deed, Jesus said to his disciples, “Pay
attention to what I am telling you. The Son of Man is to be handed over to
men.” But they did not understand this saying; its meaning was hidden from them
so that they should not understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about
this saying.

Reflection:
Do you
sometimes find it difficult to understand the ways of God in your life?
Everyone of us perhaps experience this kind of dilemma. For example, when you
pass through severe testing in your life that may lead you to question God.
Some may even say this question before Jesus: Why do I have to go through this
difficulty in my life when I am faithful to you?
When we
pass through this kind of stage in our lives. We simply have to remember that
we are created beings of God with limited capabilities. As such our intellect
is finite and limited no matter how intelligent some of us may be. We simply
have to submit to the will of God and we simply have to firmly hold on to our
faith in our infinite God.
Therefore
when we go through some episode in our lives that may seem difficult for us to
understand. Let us never be afraid to question God why do we have to go through
this trial. Yet after questioning God let us firmly hold on to our faith in Him
and continue to believe that He has a purpose why we’re going through this kind
of trial/s. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
