The Pharisees
came forward and began to argue with Jesus, seeking from him a sign from heaven
to test him. He sighed from the depth of his spirit and said, “Why does this
generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, no sign will be given to this
generation. Then he left them, got into the boat again, and went off to the
other shore.

Reflection:
What does it
mean when we seek signs from the Lord Jesus? It means weakness of faith, it
means that Jesus is not yet enough for us to hold on for our salvation for we
still need signs and wonders from Jesus. A true believer and a person of faith
will not anymore seek a sign from the Lord. He/She will trust the Lord Jesus
regardless of if he/she will see or not see signs from Him.
If we truly
love the Lord and if we have faith in the Lord we will not anymore ask for a
sign from Him. Why? Because His name alone is more than enough to deliver us
from all of our fears and doubts. This is for that reason that we always
feel His abiding presence in our lives.
The Lord is
with us the moment we reverently attend Holy Mass most especially when we
partake of His Body and Blood during Holy Communion. The Lord speaks to us the
moment we reverently read His words in the bible. Jesus is with us the moment
we pray with reverence the Holy Rosary.
If only we would
invest time to dive deeper into the life of Jesus and our catholic faith we
will not anymore ask for any signs from Jesus. Because as we invest time for
Him, we will also notice slowly but surely His abiding presence in our life.
Let us not
ask for signs let us instead get intimate with Jesus and our faith by our
faithful presence at Holy Mass. By having a daily habit of reading our bible
and by having a daily quite time in prayer with Him. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
