Lk 19:45-48


These merchants and money lenders that Jesus finds in the temple are gouging the poor. Jesus exerts his authority by driving them out and then takes his rightful place as teacher. This infuriates the Jewish leaders, but the people listen to his every word.


You cleansed the temple to take your rightful seat as the one true teacher. God set this place for you, and you willingly stepped into it fully aware of the consequences. Thank you for your courage and commitment to God’s will. St. Dung-Lac and companions, pray for us.

The logic of the Gospel

November 25, 2023
“Worldly logic is based on ambition, competition, it fights using the weapons of fear, extortion, and the manipulation of consciences. On the other hand, the logic of the Gospel, that is, the logic of Jesus, is expressed in humility and gratuitousness. It is silently but effectively affirmed with the strength of truth. The kingdoms of this world at times are sustained by arrogance, rivalries, and oppression; the reign of Christ is a kingdom of justice, love, and peace.” — Pope Francis Reflection : Would you say your logic — the way you make sense of things — more closely follows worldly logic or Jesus’ logic? What helps you believe and follow the truth of Christ, the king of justice, love, and peace? What gets in your way of overcoming fear, manipulation, or ambition as typical tactics for “getting ahead” in life?
