Wednesday of the 12th week Year C. Mt. 7: 15-20

Beware of false prophets.

Jesus is saddened at how easily we can be led astray by false teachings. False prophets and their doctrine are dangerous. 1)They are deceptive. The Holy Scriptures say: “even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11;14). 2)They are divisive and confusing because that is the aim to cause divisions and confusion. Finally, false doctrines are destructive as they twist the message of truth. Let us be careful of false prophets as well as their teachings. Beware of false prophets for they do not only preach false doctrine but they also give us false hope and an illusory future. Lord help us to know your true voice!

Jesus, I trust in you!
