In today’s first reading the Lord sends Jeremiah to the potter to see him perfect his creation made with the clay. So is the Lord working on us, creator of the universe and man.

In the gospel, Jesus again speaks of the kingdom of heaven. This time it is like a net cast into the sea, collecting everything. Then the bad items are thrown away. That will be like the judgement when the evil ones will be thrown into hell with wailing and grinding of teeth. Praying I am one of the good ones! Amen!

Today’s first reading is from Jeremiah. He was being persecuted. I think it is foretelling what Jesus must endure. In the gospel, Jesus is still trying to tell the Jews He is the son of God. He has to sneak out again or they will arrest Him. He goes across the Jordan river and many…
