The Lack of a Sign

A Lenten Minute Reflection for Monday, March 9, 2015

How often do we get angry with God when He refuses to respond to our prayers with some miraculous event, especially when we see something miraculous happen for someone else? In today's Gospel, Jesus angers the "elect" in the synagogue who are expecting special treatment from him. They forgot, as we often do, that God Is God to everyone, not just a select few, and His miraculous signs are just that: signs to aid us in our faith, to inspire us, on our journey to God and not our final destination.
Are we ready to accept God and believe through the signs He does for others? Or are we like those in the synagogue who are jealous when we don't get what we want?
