From today’s Scripture: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”—Jn 2:17

In today’s reading, we encounter Jesus being very angry. The reason is that people have made his father’s house a market. The animals that are to be sacrificed in the temple are being sold to the poor at a high price. The poor are being ripped off again. Jesus wants us to be brothers and sisters. When we take advantage of one another, we fail.

Let us pray: Lord Jesus, all of God’s children are precious. We pray that we may always remember this. Amen.

Today’s author is Father Vic Subb, senior member of Glenmary. His most recent mission assignment was in Washington County, North Carolina.
