The Prophet Haggai rebuked the people: they have forgotten Yahweh. While the Israelites, in the First Reading, forgot Yahweh, Herod, in the Gospel, could not forget Jesus. Jesus dogged Herod’s days. Jesus disturbed his sleep. Jesus invaded his dreams. Herod was anxious to see Jesus. But Herod could not forget Jesus because he was curious about Him. And, knowing the Passion narrative, Jesus did not satisfy Herod’s curiosity. Whatever happens, let us not forget God. Let us never take Him for granted. Is it alright with us to have a house while God is homeless in our midst? Can we stand before Him face-to-face after neglecting Him and His affairs?
Kapag nagsisisi tayo, binabago natin ang mga dati at di-mabubuting pag-uugali, kahinaan, kamalian, at takot at ipinapalit dito ang mabubuti at bagong pag-uugali at mga paniniwala na maglalapit sa atin sa Tagapagligtas at tutulong sa atin na maging katulad Niya.ParaCrawl Corpus ParaCrawl Corpus
