Blaming

This day an age of blaming someone or something else rather than facing the truth is not new, as we read in today's Gospel. Lk 11: 14-23).  Rather than accept the cure of the mute as a miraculous sign of God's power at work, some claimed:  "By the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons, he drives out demons." (Lk 11:15).  Jesus, with razor sharp logic quickly refutes their claim:  How can the kingdom of Satan survive if it's at war with itself?  He then challenges them and us when he states:  "But if it is by the finger of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you." (Lk 11:20).  In the Kingdom of God, human values and logic must yield to a "higher logic", one that defies the world's way of thinking, into which we can easily fall prey.  And blaming goes right along with a refusal to accept the ways of the Kingdom of God..  Fixing our eyes and heart focused on Jesus keeps us on the path of the truth and discipleship.  Isn't that where we want to be?
