Why Do We Resist the Truth? | Lent Day 17 Reflection

In today’s Lent reflection, we are going to think about how we are handling the Truth during this Lent: 

Welcome to Day 17 of Lent 2026 today is Monday March 9, 2026. Today's Gospel reading and Encounter with Jesus is Luke 4:24-30

In today’s Gospel reading is that familiar story where Jesus returns to his home town of Nazareth. He speaks in the Synagogue and what he says upsets the town’s people so much that they want to throw him off a cliff. 

Why Do We Resist the Truth?

 

Let’s pray. 

Tomorrow is the Day 18  of Lent and is another great scripture passage that challenges us a little bit.: Matthew 18:21-35  if you would like to take a look ahead. https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/031026.cfm
