December 13, 2013: Feast of St. Lucy, Virgin and Martyr

Read It:
Jesus said to the crowds:
"To what shall I compare this generation?
It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another,
"We played the flute for you, but you did not dance,
we sang a dirge but you did not mourn."
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said,
"He is possessed by a demon."
The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said,
"Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard,
a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'
But wisdom is vindicated by her works."

Reflect on It:
Today, we see a gospel, where people keep changing their mind. First, the crowds are upset because there was no dancing or mourning, then John came neither eating or drinking and then the Son of Man came eating and drinking and they called him a glutton and a drunkard. People were always trying to catch up Jesus on his teachings, like he wouldn't know the truth, he is the truth! Often, we are people that ask for a sign, well that sign is coming on December 25th....Are you ready? Be a man or woman of your word and trust that the Lord's coming is the answer to the things we need and the questions we have.

Pray about It: Lord, I believe, help my unbelief. Let your coming be enough for me.

Live It! Challenge: Today, make a list of all the things that Christ has done for you lately. Then thank him for it!
