Dear Friend in the Lord,
Insecurity – Faith: In today’s Gospel, King Herod, was puzzled, perturbed and petrified at hearing that John the Baptist whom he beheaded has risen from the dead. Ponder on, “When our faith in God is weak and superficial, we will always live in the insecurity and fear of the unknown of life and relationships. Is this true of your life?
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 9:7-9
Herod the tetrarch had heard about all that was going on; and he was puzzled, because some people were saying that John had risen from the dead, others that Elijah had reappeared, still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.
But Herod said, ‘John? I beheaded him. So who is this I hear such reports about?’ And he was anxious to see him.
