Readings: Ex 14:5-18 / Ex 15 / Mt 12:38-42


NEVER ENOUGH




It's never enough. Why? The Pharaoh has just seen ten terrifying and scary signs by the God of Israel but, when he realizes that he is losing something, he changes his mind at once. In spite of the power of God's signs, he remains so closed in his way of thinking and acting. He hasn't learnt anything actually and so he decides to pursue – again! – the children of Israel. And what about the children of Israel? God has just freed them from the slavery, by the strength of his hand, and they are still thinking that before was better than now. And what about the scribes and the Pharisees? They ask others signs from Jesus instead of converting to his gospel whereas they don't want neither to see nor to change, because their heart is unfaithful and evil.


And what about us? Why, in truth, it's never enough?
