A Lenten Minute Reflection for Wednesday, Feb. 25th, 2015
by Dcn Bob Bonomi
"Jesus said to them, 'This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah.' " (Luke 11:29)
How often in our lives do we demand a sign from God to prove that He exists and that He hears us? We challenge Him with, "If you loved me you would ... " - well, you can fill in the blank. In reality, we aren't looking for proof for His existence; we are trying to manipulate Him to conform to our will.
Signs from God aren't meant to satisfy our short-term needs, but rather to call us to conversion for our long-term salvation. Are we open to the signs of Jonah in today's world as they call us to repentance?
