Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Insecurities” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, King Herod was filled with anxieties when he heard that John the Baptist was alive. His great power and riches could not dampen his insecurities and fear of John; a holy man who proclaimed the Truth of God. Ponder on, “God is our only true security and peace in our lives; that nothing and no one can give us?”
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.
