How will you see the wonders of God our Father if you would not open your eyes? How can you understand the signs He gives you, if your heart and mind are closed? How do you hear His Word when you are not ready to listen? Why do you question and yet are not willing to receive the answers?

Have you not heard the calling? To holiness? To act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly before God your Father.

Lord Jesus thank you from liberating me from sin, so that I may see, feel and touch everything that comes from You. You are all I will ever need and through You I am able to offer my life up in servitude to my heavenly Father and my brethren. Amen

FIRST READING
Micah 6:1–4, 6–8

GOSPEL
Matthew 12:38–42

Some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” He said to them in reply, “An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. Just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. At the judgment, the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and there is something greater than Jonah here. At the judgment the queen of the south will arise with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and there is something greater than Solomon here.”
