Greetings on this the Wednesday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time
Readings: Jonah 4:1-11; Psalm 86:3-4, 5-6, 9-10; Luke 11:1-4
Summary
If there ever was a better example of the situation in the USA over the public discourse and the shocking deterioration of the American public ethic it is this:
But God said to Jonah, “Do you have a right to be angry over the gourd plant?” Jonah answered, “I have a right to be angry—angry enough to die.” Then the LORD said, “You are concerned over the gourd plant which cost you no effort and which you did not grow; it came up in one night and in one night it perished. And should I not be concerned over the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot know their right hand from their left, not to mention all the animals?”
- We need Holy Mass – not mass deportations.
- We need Holy Spirit to occupy our hearts – not the military occupying our cities.
