Gospel: Luke 19:41-44
They will smash you to the ground and your
children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you
because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”

Reflection:
Why is it that some people are so peaceful even if they have their own share of life’s burdens? The reason behind is they’ve learned to surrender everything to Jesus. They listen to Jesus by way of their active prayer life and they’ve let Jesus take control of their lives and not them taking control.
When Jesus was nearing Jerusalem, He was very sad and He wept for its people because they did not listen to God’s call of repentance. They purposely blinded themselves to the reality of repentance. Why? Because they love to sin and they liked what this sinful world offered them. They never cared to be concerned of the punishing outcome of their sinfulness.
Jesus loves us so dearly that He wants all of us to listen to Him. So that we could be spared of the dreadful punishment that is due to those who do not care to listen to Him. He also weeps for us every time we sin, every time we don’t listen to Him.
When everything is said and done and we
are already suffering for the reason of our sinfulness we have nobody to blame
but ourselves. However, why let this very harsh event called punishment come to
us? When we could actually avoid it by means of opening our hearts to Jesus
call of repentance. - Marino J. Dasmarinas
