Do You Understand?
A Lenten Minute Reflection for Thursday, March 26, 2015
by Dcn Bob Bonomi
There is a commercial on TV where a man holding a frog calls an insurance company and asks, "Do you have FROG insurance?" The agent responds, "Yes, we have FRAUD insurance." The man says again, "FROG insurance." The agent responds, "FRAUD insurance." Then they both agree that they understand each other.
In today's Gospel there is a lack of understanding of the word, "DEATH". The Jews think he is referring to the body; followers of Christ understand that Jesus refers to the death of the soul. In the face of the passing of a loved one, do we really understand that the soul lives on? As we approach Easter, let us always remember that the pain we suffer in separating from a loved one will be replaced one day with the joy of reunion through the promise of the Resurrection.
