“At that time: When Jesus drew near and saw the city he wept over it, saying, “Would that even today you knew the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For the days shall come upon you, when your enemies will cast up a bank about you and surround you, and hem you in on every side, and dash you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another in you; because you did not know the time of your visitation.” Luke 19:41-44. St. Francis de Sales said, “Prayer opens the understanding to the brightness of Divine Light, and the will to the warmth of Heavenly Love…It is as a healing water, which causes the roots of our good desires to send forth fresh shoots.”
Let us pray, Jerusalem was destroyed because she failed to know the things that make for peace; failed to recognize the time of her visitation. Lord, the enemy can outwit us when we fail to recognize our moments of opportunity. May Your Spirit enlighten us, all the time, to always read, in our favor, the signs of the times. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
