Playfulness by Paul Manship, 1912-1914. [Public domain]Fr Ed points out that it is God who plays the flute for his people in today’s gospel – but no one moves. It’s as if they can’t hear him playing. God never gives up. He’s still playing that flute – but now he’s playing it for us. How will we respond?
I am writing you, [Timothy,] although I hope to visit you soon.
1 TM 3:14-16
“To what shall I compare the people of this generation? …They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance.’”
LK 7:31-35
