When the crowds were increasing, Jesus began to say, ‘This generation is an evil generation; it asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be to this generation. The queen of the South will rise at the judgement with the people of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and see, something greater than Solomon is here! The people of Nineveh will rise up at the judgement with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and see, something greater than Jonah is here!

Dear Connie,
Grateful for your challenge to never lose hope and be trusting in God’s loving mercy and forgiveness for all who are open to his love. I appreciate your final words of the psalm:
“Create a clean heart in me, Oh, Lord.”
May the Spirit continue to bless your preaching of the Good News,
Brigid
