DGeMs- Daily Gospel eMessage
Dear Friend in the Lord,
“God’s Will for Jesus”: In today’s Gospel, the Pharisees went to warn Jesus to leave Jerusalem, as King Herod intended to kill Him. However, Jesus responded fearlessly that His Father’s Mission is that He is to die in Jerusalem. Ponder on, “Pray and discern God our Father’s Will daily; with openness, courage and humility Like Jesus.
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 13:31-35
Some Pharisees came up. ‘Go away,’ they said. ‘Leave this place, because Herod means to kill you. He replied, ‘You may go and give that fox this message: Look! Today and tomorrow I drive out devils and heal, and on the third day I attain my end. But for today and tomorrow and the next day I must go on, since it would not be right for a prophet to die outside Jerusalem.
‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often have I longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you refused! Look! Your house will be left to you. Yes, I promise you, you shall not see me till the time comes when you are saying: Blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord!’
