NO AMOUNT OF MIRACLES WILL DO
Tuesday of the 15th Week in Ordinary Time
Mt 11:20-24
A saying goes, “For those who believe no miracle is needed. For those who do not believe, no amount of miracles will do.” The Gospel today is a good example of this.
The Galilean towns mentioned in the Gospel today witnessed the many miracles of Jesus. The miracles, however, failed to move many of the people to conversion of mind and heart to God. There was only one reason for the failure: pride.
The people from the towns where Jesus worked many of His miracles lacked the humility to accept that they need to repent from their sinful ways. Unrepentant, the people saw no reason to convert.
Pride is the enemy of salvation. How can the proud accept their need to be saved?
Miracles do not guarantee faith.
