I don’t know if you saw it but on Facebook there were pictures of brooms standing up all by themselves in people’s kitchens, seemingly defying gravity!
And what it led to was the question of what was really happening? Was it a hoax, or was there a unique physical explanation?
In today’s first reading we hear about how Queen Sheba felt drawn to King Solomon. She, like many characters in both the Old and New Testaments, are drawn to men and women who are living a deep relationship with God. She wants to see for herself if King Solomon is all that she has heard. She tested him with subtle questions.
What if one of our family members, friends, or co-workers were to ask us subtle or not so subtle questions about our faith? Do we have the knowledge and the words to express what God means to us?
In today’s Gospel, there is the reminder from Jesus to be aware of what is going on in our hearts and minds. Our vices could be pulling us in the wrong direction. The state of our hearts allow God to heal us and strengthen us in the virtues
We have been drawn to God's presence. We come with our questions believing that God will show us what we need to continue to grow in love and faith, beginning with Him. We can be a witness of God's presence for our families and all that we meet.
May God bless you and your families this holy day!
