First Wednesday of Lent

A sign from God

From today’s Scripture: “He said to them, ‘This generation is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah.’” Lk 11:29

I remember when my nephew Jay was a toddler. My sister and I were in the kitchen, and he would be playing in his room. Every few minutes we would hear him call out, “Mommy?” My sister would reply, “I am here.” He needed to hear her voice as a sign he was not alone. We, too, seek the comfort and security of signs. Who has not asked God to give a sign if a decision is the right one?

Jesus is telling us he is the only sign we need. He is present in all aspects of our lives. He wants us to trust and have faith in him.

Let us pray: Lord, thank you for your many blessings in my life. Lord, increase my faith and trust in you.
