FEAST OF SAINTS MARGARET MARY ALACOQUE AND HEDWIG.
FEAST OF SAINTS MARGARET MARY ALACOQUE & HEDWIG.
"The Lord said:
“Woe to you who build the memorials of the prophets
whom your fathers killed.
Consequently, you bear witness and give consent
to the deeds of your ancestors,
for they killed them and you do the building.
Therefore, the wisdom of God said,
‘I will send to them prophets and Apostles;
some of them they will kill and persecute’
in order that this generation might be charged
with the blood of all the prophets
shed since the foundation of the world,
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah
who died between the altar and the temple building.
Yes, I tell you, this generation will be charged with their blood!
Woe to you, scholars of the law!
You have taken away the key of knowledge.
You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter.”
When Jesus left, the scribes and Pharisees
began to act with hostility toward him
and to interrogate him about many things,
for they were plotting to catch him at something he might say." (Luke 11: 47 - 54)."
Thursday 16th October 2025, 28th Week in Ordinary Time is the feast of St Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647 - 1690).
St Margaret is the French Visitation Nun that brought the world the private revelations of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Today is also the feast of St Hedwig (1173 - 1243). Wife of the Duke of Poland and mother of 7 children.
After the death of her husband, Hedwig took the habit of a Nun and lived the rest of her life in a Cistercian monastery that she and her late husband had founded.
In the Gospel of today, Jesus warns Church leaders to learn from history and avoid the mistakes of the past in fullfilling their ministry.
They are to avoid:
Alignment with the powers that be.
Flattery.
Ostentatious lifestyle.
Superficial spirituality.
All these lead to Hypocrisy.
A word is enough for the wise.
The reaction of the Scribes and Pharisees was predictable. They adopted the playbook of their ancestors: Eliminate Jesus!
