Gospel: Luke
12:1-7
So many
people were crowding together that they were trampling one another underfoot. Jesus
began to speak, first to his disciples, “Beware of the leaven–that is, the
hypocrisy–of the Pharisees.
“There is
nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known.
Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and
what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the
housetops. I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but
after that can do no more. I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one
who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be
afraid of that one. Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one
of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all
been counted. Do not be afraid. You are
worth more than many sparrows.”

Reflection:
Does God know
everything about us?
Yes, God
knows everything about us; including those sins that we think are known only to
ourselves He knows too! What is the proof that God knows about it? Our
conscience which eternally bothers us whenever we sin our sins would continue
to bother us until we ask forgiveness or we make amends to the person whom we
have hurt.
God is an
all knowing and all-pervading God. We therefore have to shape up and walk away from
sin while we still have the luxury of time. We also have to do away with the
sinful thoughts that we keep in our minds.
It would
be much better if we always align all our thoughts and actions with God. So
that when our time to leave this world comes we would be ready. Thus, from here
we go straight to heaven because we have tried very hard not to sin.
However,
we are weak as humans we often times sin but there is always a remedy for sin which
is repentance and this is best exemplified the moment we humbly submit to the
Sacrament of Confession/Reconciliation. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
