Gospel: Matthew 12:38-42
At the judgment, the men of Nineveh will arise with
this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of
Jonah; and there is something greater than Jonah here. At the judgment the
queen of the south will arise with this generation and condemn it, because she
came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and there is
something greater than Solomon here."

Reflection:
The story is told about a woman who was eyeing a man to be her boyfriend but she was not sure if he was the right one for her. So she said, I need a sign I need to see a white butterfly right now so that I will say yes to him.
Lo and behold she saw a white butterfly circling by her, consequently she took it as a sign and she said yes to the man. Unfortunately after a few years they separated, what does this mean? Affirmative signs are not manifestation of truth thus we should not rely upon it.
Some of us may demand a sign from Jesus to confirm something but no sign is needed anymore. No sign is bigger than Jesus, for as long as our faith in Jesus is strong and for as long as we have a deep friendship with Him. Jesus is more than enough for us to carry us through our life’s journey.
Let us always trust on Jesus for he will never fail
us, we may experience humps and bumps in our lives every now and then. However,
let us not make the mistake of using these humps and bumps as an excuse to
distance ourselves from the Lord.
For those who will not separate, those who will continue to have faith and
those who will not rely on signs will be richly rewarded someday. – Marino J.
