Dear Friend in the Lord,
Gospel of Challenges: In today’s Gospel episode, Jesus drove out the merchants as they were desecrating the Temple; which is meant for the worship of God. The Gospel of Christ always challenges us to become more Christ-like. “Are we willing to accept the challenges and the crosses that come our way?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 19:45-48
Jesus went into the Temple and began driving out those who were busy trading, saying to them, ‘According to scripture, my house shall be a house of prayer but you have turned it into a bandits’ den.’
He taught in the Temple every day. The chief priests and the scribes, in company with the leading citizens, tried to do away with him, but they could not find a way to carry this out because the whole people hung on his words.
