Lk 19.11-28

"His fellow citizens, however, despised him and sent a delegation after him to announce; ‘We do not want this man to be our king’.” Lk 19.14

"O God, how dense we are at times and how we must disappoint You, too.

I remember as Jesus was approaching Jerusalem, He told a parable that clearly reflected his fate; namely, His people would reject Him as their king and they missed out on their Messiah.

Grant that I may be attentive to the voices of those You send that speak the things that are important for my salvation.

I ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit one God, for ever and ever. Amen

Operatio: Reflect on ‘Christ” - Messiah, Son of God, Crucified Savior; His death - our life; His vicar - the Pope. Resolve to listen to the Pope and to the Bishops in union with him for they have been given to us to lead us to You.
