Friday of week 27 in Ordinary Time

The day of the Lord

Luke 11:15-26


The first reading speaks of the day of the Lord which may signify the last day, judgment day; it may also mean the end of our lives; but it may also mean that every day is a day of the Lord if we are conscious of his presence every minute and every second.

In the gospel, Jesus reprimands the pharisees for accusing him of being an instrument of Beelzebub.  "A house against itself will not stand."

Let us reflect on our lives in the presence of the Lord in contrast with a life that is absent from him.

Sin is defined as the absence of the Lord; it also means the destruction of all the things he created.

It also signifies the destroying the communion with God and others because of selfishness.

Let us always reflect whether we are instruments of unity or selfishness, building up God's kingdom or destroying it.  Let us vow to bring his kingdom here on earth.
