Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary.

Jesus said to the crowds:
“To what shall I compare the people of this generation?
What are they like?
They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another,

‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance.
We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.’

For John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine,
and you said, ‘He is possessed by a demon.’
The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said,
‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard,
a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’
But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”  LK 7:31-35

Today, Jesus speaks to us in a parable directed to the Jews who have chosen not to commit to either holy men who God has sent to reveal His salvation to the world.  First, John the Baptist, who is a fire and brimstone preacher and gives up all worldly pleasures.  The Jews dismiss him as “possessed by a demon”.  Then, the “Lamb of God’, Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, God’s only Son, comes to the Jews as one who is compassionate and sits with sinners (tax collectors and prostitutes).  John the Baptist ushers Christ into the world and they are Wisdom.  The highest gift of the Holy Spirit is wisdom and it makes the soul responsive to God and contemplative to divine things.  How often are we like the Jews that will not accept Jesus into our hearts.  He is ready to be welcomed in each person we meet, in the Mass, at adoration, in prayer, in every Catholic Church, in our suffering and our blessings, He is always there waiting.  We either accept Him or reject Him.  Repent, change your life, and accept Jesus.  As John the Baptist said, “I must decrease so He can increase”. 

Today’s challenge: Empty yourself and allow Jesus to fill you up!

Be a servant, become a saint!
