Readings of the day: RB 7:62-70
Mass: Jonah 3:1-10; Resp. Psalm 130; Luke 10:38-42
Blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.
(Gospel Acclamation, Mass)
It seems dear Jonah has had a change of heart, not without God in hot pursuit. Today Jonah heeds the Lord’s bidding and sets off for Nineveh. That said, there is more to come.
We are also presented with Martha and Mary, friends of the Lord. Martha was busy asking Jesus questions and telling him what to do. Mary was busy listening to Jesus speak.
Who am I today? Jonah, Martha, or Mary?
The first step of humility is to cherish at all times the sense of awe with which we should ever turn to God. It should drive all forgetfulness away; it should keep our minds alive to God’s guidance and commandments.
(RB 7:10-11)
