Cm-2.19.12 Jonah 3. 1-10 Ps. 51. 3-4, 12-13, 18-19 lk. 2. 12-13
Cosmic connection: gray, rainy skies.
Question of the day: Old Testament prefiguring the new: Are there areas of your life which reflect Nineveh in need of conversion?
The short story of Jonah preaching repentance,
Ending up after forty days in the walking through Nineveh
The king calls for a drastic fast having gone astray,
When God saw their hearts turning once again to him, God relented since they repented.
“A humbled contrite hear , O god you will not spurn”
Showing our sorrow for sins and shortcomings then God will not reject
Rather He shal show mercy and never cast us out of His presence we humbly accept,
Giving us a pure clean heart in which our love of god burns.
Jesus reminds us of the Jonah story because Nineveh is a good example,
That Nineveh repented and gained God’s blessing,
We have One in Jesus who is far greater than the wisdom of Solomon Impressive.
We then ought to put on our sackcloth and amend our lives in gratitude for Jesus’s gift and sample
