Lack of faith!
Are we not victims today of the lack of trust in God? Jesus, in today's passage, is returning to his hometown, where the people's lack faith in him just because they thought they knew who he was: the son of the carpenter. This prevented them from witnessing the full extent of Jesus' miraculous power.
Our world is the way it is because we are no more faithful to God's word and plans like the people in Jérémiah' s time as well as Jesus's hometown's people. Faith is key to our relationship with God because it pushes us to act on his word with confidence.
Our Lady of the Assumption, pray for us!
