TOPIC: DO WE KNOW THE MAJESTY OF GOD? First Reading: Zechariah 2: 5-9, 14-15a Responsorial Psalm: Jeremiah 31: 10, 11-12ab, 13 Alleluia: Second Timothy 1: 10 Gospel: Luke 9: 43b-45 When we ascribe majesty to someone, we acknowledge greatness in that person, and voice our respect for it.  The miracles of Jesus revealed the majesty of God and displayed his grace and favor, especially towards the lowly. But with the miracles Jesus also gave a prophetic warning: There can be no share in God's glory without the cross.  Jesus prophesied his own betrayal and crucifixion.  But it did not make any sense to the disciples because it did not fit their understanding of the Messiah.  And they were afraid to ask further questions.  Like a person who might receive a bad verdict from the doctor and then refuse to ask further questions, they, too, didn't want to know any more. How often do we reject what we do not wish to see?  We have heard God's word and we know the consequences of accepting it or rejecting it.  But do we give it our full allegiance and mold our lives according to it?  We ask the Lord to show us His majesty that we may grow in reverence of Him and in godly fear of His word. This is the 1254th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: As we continue to pray for Bro Bong Arjonillo’s healing and recovery, let us listen to our brother Solphie Confiado as he brings us today's reflection. All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
