Lectio: Lk 11.29-32

“Just as Jonah became a sign for the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be for this generation.” Lk 11.30

“O God, You know we need signs that it is You at work among us.

I remember Jesus told the crowds gathered around Him that He will be the sign to them just as Jonah was the sign to the Ninevites - how? - His preaching and His resurrection. .
Grant that I may be always grateful for the many signs that You have given us that the Catholic Church, the Church founded by Christ, is the true church.

I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.

Operatio: Reflect on “God’s signs”- a divine stamp of approval; something beyond the capacity of a mere human; for me, some of the best signs are: Our Lady’ appearance at Fatima, Our Lady of Guadalupe; St. Faustina and the many Eucharistic miracles including the one at Lanciano. Pray always in thanksgiving for these signs that make it easy for me to believe that the Catholic Church is the true Church of Christ.

Tomorrow’s readings: Lk 11.37-41
