About this episode

Sr. Ann reflects on the Gospel readings and the call to trust in God amidst the desire for signs.

In today’s Gospel, the scribes and Pharisees ask Jesus to show them a sign. He responds that they keep wanting proof when they should be putting their trust in Him. The call to repentance has been given to us, again and again. Are we going to say yes? He is everything for us. Do we turn to him? Sr. Ann reflects on today’s readings: Micah 6:1-4, 6-8 Psalm 50:5-6, 8-9, 16bc-17, 21, 23 Matthew 12:38-42 Sr. Ann’s Books Deeper Conversion Extraordinary Grace for Ordinary Times More of the Holy Spirit Captured By Mercy This is a public episode.
