+ This is again a timely gospel passage today. Jesus
tells the crowds that they need to start seeing things on the other dimension
that truly exists – the spiritual one – before it is too late.
Sure, you can tell
when it is going to rain, and when it will be hot, by seeing the signs in
nature; but, you fail to read the spiritual signs of the times, and are thus
unable to foretell what will happen, if things don’t progress, evolve and
change.
For us today that is a
critical distinction that needs to be made. Unless the leaders of our
government do not employ their “higher selves” and powers – that they all have,
no matter what their religious beliefs or practices are – then the road that
the Commander in Chief is leading us down – will end in a sure and sudden
doomsday scenario.
Conscience bearing citizens of
the state and the country and the world need to heed the signs of red flags
that are being strewn across the pock-marked pathways lead to and from the
nation’s capital – and stand up, physically and get out and do something about
it: like swamping the emails, and phone lines of their representatives in
government and insisting on an immediate and decisive change of course of
action.
An erratic, irrational and
impulsive commander in chief needs to have his access of the nuclear codes
revoked – and he himself needs to be placed in an environment where he can’t
hurt or threaten massive amounts of people of good will – and ill will.
The first reading corroborates
all this: some people just can’t seem to help themselves in doing what they
ought not be doing.
Lord teach us your statutes –
and give us the common sense to parent errant children.
Amen.
