“JESUS WEPT” (see Lk 19:41)

“Let my eyes stream with tears day and night.” –Jeremiah 14:17 Many people couldn’t care less about the condition of the world, the state of the Church, the destruction of human lives, the breakdown of marriage and family, etc. They just stare at the TV and try to escape from reality through constant indulgence in petty pleasures. We should love the Lord and other people enough to pray: “Let my eyes stream with tears day and night, without rest, over the great destruction which overwhelms the virgin daughter of my people, over her incurable wound” (Jer 14:17). When Jesus saw...

PRAYER CHANGES ?

“One of His disciples asked Him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray.’ ” –Luke 11:1 Sometimes our prayer is a projection of our own self-hatred rather than a communication with God. For instance, Abraham began interceding for Sodom and Gomorrah by saying: “See how I am presuming to speak to my Lord, though I am but dust and ashes!” (Gn 18:27) Later in his prayer, Abraham begged God not to become impatient (Gn 18:30) or angry (Gn 18:32) with him, as if God could be impatient or angry. Abraham projected his own problems onto God. Eventually, Abraham quit interceding for Sodom...

WEED LOVERS

“Do you want us to go out and pull them up?” –Matthew 13:28 The farmer in Jesus’ parable of the wheat and weeds says something I’ve never heard a farmer or gardener say before. He says that you shouldn’t pull up the weeds because “you might take the wheat along with them” (Mt 13:29). It seems that Jesus’ wheat and weeds are much more intertwined than those of other people. This is a scary thought. It’s bad enough to put up with the weeds much less having to be closely connected to them. Jesus doesn’t want us intertwined with the...

PERSEVERANCE

“I will rise then and go about the city; in the streets and crossings I will seek Him Whom my heart loves.” –Song of Songs 3:2 When we think of Mary Magdalene, we recall her intense love for Jesus. She received this love from the Holy Spirit (Gal 5:22; Rm 5:5). She received the Holy Spirit in such a powerful way because of her perseverance. Just as Elisha received a double portion of Elijah’s spirit by persevering in sticking with him (2 Kgs 2:1ff), so Mary Magdalene received the Spirit’s gift of love through her perseverance. When almost all Jesus’...
