Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Courageous Faith”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus urged the crowds to be courageous in their commitment to the Good News of Salvation. Ponder on, “Do we compromise our living of the Gospels of Jesus in areas of morality (e.g. murder in abortion), and in unethical practices and injustices that especially oppresses the poor and the weak of society?
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 12:1-5
The people had gathered in their thousands so that they were treading on one another. And Jesus began to speak, first of all to his disciples. ‘Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees – that is, their hypocrisy. Everything that is now covered will be uncovered, and everything now hidden will be made clear. For this reason, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in hidden places will be proclaimed on the housetops.’
‘To you my friends I say: Do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. I will tell you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has the power to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.’
