Luke 11: 29-32
"Not those people"
Today in the gospel we are reminded of our inclination to say "yes" to what we want and "no" to what is uncomfortable or against the culture.
Jonah doesn't want to go to Nineveh because he thinks "Not those people" yet that is where God wanted him to go.
We meet the Divine in the encounters we have each and every moment and "those people" are people that are loved by God, and indeed all people.
How do we respond when we are asked by God to BE for the people of Nineveh of our time? We are the people of Nineveh, we are Jonah.
Being a better human requires a pro life attitude with all people. The prisoner, the outcast and marginalized, the entire people God has gathered no matter what our ideas may include or exclude.
Look for ways to be transformed by the sign we have been given! Be inclusive!
