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 the Lord 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 follow you?”
When we pass through these kinds of trials in our life. We simply have to
remember that we are created beings of God with finite minds. As such our
intellect is limited no matter how intelligent some of us may be. Thus, we
really won’t be able to comprehend the ways of God. 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 episodes in life 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
