Matthew 11:16-19

Let us all remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Gospel: Matthew 11:16-19
Jesus said to the crowds: “To what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance, we sang a dirge but you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, ‘He is possessed by a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is vindicated by her works.”

Reflection
How do we react in situations that happen to us? Some people will criticize others no matter what they do, whether they do good or bad people will always have something to say. People only believe what they want to believe and don’t look things in a different way. If we like someone, they can do no wrong. If we don’t like them, they can do no right. Our response to situations, even to God, depends on how we are disposed. We must ask God for help and strength to understand situations right.

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, “…communion as a way of accomplishing mission suggests the solidarity and collaboration that come from sharing in one vision, one spirit and one mission.” The Lasallian schools are united university where diversity is respected and soliditary is showed to everyone. This is a place where no one feels left out and everyone finds a place for comfort and company.

Prayer
Lord our God, too often we are deaf to Your voice and to the presence of Your Son among us, His people. Inspire us by Your prophets and Your Spirit that now is the right moment to change and to commit ourselves to the kind of life and to the justice demanded by the kingdom. Help us to make people see that Your Son is alive among us and that He is our Lord forever. This we pray, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Our Lady of the Star, pray for us.
St. John Baptist De La Salle, pray for us.
St. Miguel Febres Cordero, pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
