Dear Friend in the Lord,
Spiritual Desolations: In todays Gospel, Jesus was deeply distressed with the Pharisees who tried to test and trap Him in their discussion, by asking Him for a sign. Ponder on, When we try to bargain with God and justify our lack of commitment in the living our faith, are we behaving like the Pharisees?.
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Mark 8:11-13
The Pharisees came up and started a discussion with Jesus; they demanded of him a sign from heaven, to test him.
And with a sigh that came straight from the heart he said, ‘Why does this generation demand a sign? I tell you solemnly, no sign shall be given to this generation.’ And, leaving them again, and re-embarking he went away to the opposite shore.
