Spiritual Forecast for Today

For 25 October 2013, Friday of the 29th Week in Ordinary Time, based on Luke 12: 54 – 59

Jesus said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say immediately that it is going to rain and so it does. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat’; and so it is. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?

And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. I tell you, you will never get out till you have paid the very last penny.”
