I’m a bit pressed for time today
so this will be brief. I encourage you to read today’s Gospel for yourself: (Luke
7:31-35).
Here is my take on that passage.
It seems to me that Jesus upbraids two different types of people.
The first type are those who
fail to respond appropriately to whatever the circumstances call for. Quick
example: You are joyful, and someone throws a pail of water over you; you are
sorrowing and another is completely insensitive to your pain.
The second type are those who
tend to find fault in any circumstance, especially when the people are involved
are those they dislike. For proof of this, simply follow the trends in current
American political discourse, or read the (ugh!) comments posted about almost
any subject on Facebook or other websites. Or go back and read the Gospel.
Have a nice day. God bless you!
