In our Gospel for this past Sunday, a sentence jumps out which may shed light on what we read today, \u201c<em>And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.<\/em>\u201d (Matt 11:6) Jesus was responding to the question from John the Baptist early on in his ministerial life as to \u201c<em>the One whom they should look for.\u201d<\/em> (11:3), the blind see, the lame walk\u2026etc. It begs the question, why on earth would anyone<em> \u201ctake offense<\/em>\u201d at these Messianic works\u2014isn\u2019t that what they were longing for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, eleven chapters and many miracles and signs later, Matthew is highlighting the authority of Jesus as he (Jesus) has open confrontations with the religious leaders. They were most definitely taking \u201c<em>offense<\/em>\u201d at him. The question I pondered surrounds the heart of Jesus; how did he do it? How did he constantly show up in the temple day after day sharing the love of God? How did he not lose hope or be totally discouraged? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we are to comprehend that he was truly human\u2014how did he process all this pain and rejection especially from those church leaders who proclaimed to know his Father! \u00a0Imagine the depth of <u>that<\/u> love!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We read that in the end the first son demonstrated self-less love while the second son demonstrated empty promises with no heart at all. It seems easy enough even for the leaders to see this truth. However, lest we see ourselves as the first son and get too puffed up with vainglory (Phil 2:3) we would do well to remember the type of love which Jesus taught and demonstrated. Agape\u2014self-emptying love. As we unpack this scripture which combined with our first reading from Zephaniah is inviting us to see with the eyes of Jesus and live in awareness that those whom we judge as less or unworthy might just be responding to that self-emptying love in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ah, there\u2019s the rub! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile has-palette-color-34-background-color has-background\" style=\"grid-template-columns:51% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"610\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/passionist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Contemplation.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3262 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/passionist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Contemplation.jpg 610w, https:\/\/passionist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Contemplation-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\">As I ponder Jesus\u2019 response to his growing hostile circumstances, I ask for the grace of freedom to choose how I respond to the invitations for growth and truth in my own life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be nourished as I \u201cImmerse myself in the immensity of the Sea of God&#8217;s Love.\u201d (St. Paul of the Cross)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May I always respond to any circumstances with his enduring heart for love and justice.
