Wednesday of the First Week of Lent
Taking the Gospel to prayer
Jonah tried to avoid the call to preach, but after the "whale" experience finds himself walking the length of Nineveh. At his words, hears are changed and repentance ensues. Jesus is greater than Jonah and stands before a generation that refuses to hear His message. They have seen miracles and still are asking for a sign. He knows that no sign will change their hearts.
The question for prayer and reflection today: Have I been bargaining with God? Am I waiting for a "better time" to do what He is asking? Am I avoiding the path because I don't trust that God will guide me through? What sign am I looking to see?
