15th October 2018 Monday Twenty-eight Sunday in Ordinary Time - St. Teresa of Avila

Reflection
Galatians 4:22-24,26-27,31-5:1, Luke 11:29-32
“Real miracle starts with an encounter”
Jesus knew the people’s hearts. He perceived that most of them were present for the sake of miracles. They did not want to listen to Jesus’ message and repent accordingly. Unlike the Ninevites and the Queen of the South, most of the people in the crowd took Jesus and His message for granted. They did not listen nor heed His call for repentance.

Today, Jesus continues to call us to encounter God again. It is this intimate encounter of God’s love that moves us to repent and return to Him. In fact, real miracle takes place when we start to experience God’s love, and allow His love to be more powerful than our pride, lust, hard-hearted nature, anger, greed, indifference, etc. Real miracle happens when our lives change for the better, and we start to live with God and for God.

Question for reflection:
Do I heed Jesus’ call for me to repent and live a life of love?
