Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Spiritual Blindness”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus shed tears when He saw the city of Jerusalem for He knew that His grave Suffering and Death was imminent. Ponder on, “Do we have the eyes of faith to “see” and hearts to “sense” God’s triumph in the trials and tribulations of our faith, and the evil and sin of the world?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 19:41-44
As Jesus drew near Jerusalem and came in sight of the city he shed tears over it and said, ‘If you in your turn had only understood on this day the message of peace! But, alas, it is hidden from your eyes!
‘Yes, a time is coming when your enemies will raise fortifications all round you, when they will encircle you and hem you in on every side; they will dash you and the children inside your walls to the ground; they will leave not one stone standing on another within you – and all because you did not recognize your opportunity when God offered it!.’
