September 11, 2011 – Luke 7 - 7:35

I don’t remember knowing that the Centurion didn’t go to Christ, but sent friends. The language that is used here is going to be in the new translation of the Mass that we will have starting in Advent, saying “under my roof”.

We also see the middle of the 3 of the people that Christ raised from the dead. The daughter that was raised had just died and was still at home. Lazarus had been dead and buried several days. Here, the son had died and was in a coffin on his way to the grave when raised.

When you look at what John did and they said he was processed, Christ is a glutton, you can see that people don’t care what you do and will always find fault if they don’t want to change. They didn’t want to hear what they were being told, so they were going to find a reason not to follow them, whether it makes sense or is rational.

I didn’t know if this was Simon of Simon/Peter that Christ was talking to or a Pharisee named Simon.
