Gospel
Luke 7:31-35
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.”
Reflection
Jesus here is talking to the crowds and in particular to those in the crowd. They're close minded. No matter what is presented to them, no matter what argument you use, they will say, no, that's not true. That's not the way it is. So we see in this particular passage is, we must not fall into the trap of being close minded about anything.
We need one thing. We need one thing only. And that's wisdom. It has another name. The Holy Spirit, who dwells in any heart that opens themselves to that gift. Take this time to reflect on these thoughts, and I will close with a prayer.
Closing Prayer
Father, your promised spirit is the key to us understanding who we are and why we're here, and who we are called to be. And so bless us with the gift of wisdom. And we ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
