THE SECOND PREDICTION OF THE PASSION LK 9:43b-45 While the crowd & the disciples were all amazed at his every deed,Jesus said to his disciples," Pay attention to what I am telling you.The Son of Man is to be handed over to men."But they did not understand this saying; its meaning was hidden from them so that they should not understand it, & they were afraid to ask him about this saying. REFLECTION: For the second time Jesus predicts his passion. They do not understand him.How can they continue to follow a Messiah who is going to suffer? Our Filipino martyr,San Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila, & his companion- martyrs found meaning in what the disciples of Jesus could not understand.They found a crucified Lord worth giving their lives for.They followed Jesus in faith even if they could not understand his ways. WE DO NOT HAVE TO UNDERSTAND JESUS FULLY IN ORDER TO FOLLOW HIM.
