Way of Lights Spiritual Reflections
November 18, 2011
Today's reading is from the Gospel of Luke 19:45
Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out
those who were selling things, saying to them,
"It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer,
but you have made it a den of thieves."
And every day he was teaching in the temple area.
The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile,
were seeking to put him to death,
but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose
because all the people were hanging on his words
Reflection by: Orin Johnson, Shrine Coordinator of Music and Liturgy
Today’s gospel is one we are used to hearing during Lent and Holy Week. As the Christmas season creeps earlier and earlier, let us try to be mindful of making Advent and Christmas Time a period of holiness and grace — and let us pause for a moment of personal reflection: are there money changers and those interested primarily in profits that we should throw out of our own temples this time of year?
