FRIDAY 30th JULY 2021
Matthew 13, 54-58:
“Where does this man get this wisdom and these miracles?… Is he not the carpenter’s son?”
The circle close to Jesus does not believe in Jesus.
As a child he ran and played in the streets of his village.
When he grew up he worked as a carpenter together with Joseph.
He has led a life like everyone else.
And now his fellow villagers find it scandalous that he has such wisdom and performs such miracles.
How could all this have been possible in him?
According to them, God cannot do things in such a simple and normal way.
The things of God, according to them, must be more spectacular.
But God is like that. He acts from the wisdom of the simple and the small.
It is in your hands to open yourself to that wisdom. To see God’s action and presence in the simplicity and smallness of all things.
Practice today in seeing God’s action and presence in daily life and in the simplicity of daily chores.
Try to see God’s presence in every person you meet.
Good day.
Antonio Sanjuán Marín, cmf
