Reflection on the Gospel – Tuesday, July 15, 2025
Dear friends,
Throughout the Gospel, Jesus usually speaks words of comfort and support to almost everyone. There are only a few exceptions—interestingly, toward those we might consider the “closest.” He rebukes the most religious for the way they live out their faith, and he criticizes the people from his own region for their lack of faith.
Today’s Word refers to the latter. Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum were towns along the Sea of Galilee where Jesus had been preaching and doing good for some time. And yet, most of their people showed little sign of trusting in Him.
It’s something like when you know someone very well and stop appreciating them. Or when you’ve lived in a city for years but fail to notice its most beautiful corners. The same can happen with our faith: we become so used to the Word and the signs of the Master that they no longer move us or strengthen us—lost in a routine where other things slowly capture our hearts.
Lord Jesus,
today I recognize myself
among those who, having received much,
can end up disregarding it all.
Awaken me to recognize You
in the signs and words
where You desire to make Yourself present.
Your brother in faith,
