Was it of heavenly or of human origin?\u201d\u00a0They discussed this among themselves and said, \u201cIf we say \u2018Of heavenly origin,\u2019 he will say to us, \u2018Then why did you not believe him?\u2019\u00a0But if we say, \u2018Of human origin,\u2019 we fear the crowd, for they all regard John as a prophet.\u201d\u00a0So they said to Jesus in reply, \u201cWe do not know.\u201d\u00a0He himself said to them, \u201cNeither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, open my heart and mind to your Word in Scripture, and in hearing you, let me follow you more closely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n\t<li><strong>We Often Look at Things From a Merely Human Perspective:<\/strong> Was John\u2019s Baptism of heavenly or human origin? The chief priests and the elders were unwilling to acknowledge John\u2019s mission as heavenly inspired. We too are often tempted to overlook heaven\u2019s impact in our daily life. We frequently see both the causes and our solutions to situations in our lives from a practical standpoint. For example, we might blame a job loss on the economy or the company\u2019s policies and begin immediately browsing the internet for new job opportunities. None of this is bad, <em>per se<\/em>, but what should be the first reaction of a Christian? Should we, rather, first ask Our Lord, \u201cWhat are you doing here? What do you want to show me?\u201d\n\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Grace Builds Upon Nature:<\/strong> Christianity does not juxtapose nature and grace. God is the source of both our natural and supernatural gifts. Therefore, in principle, God\u2019s gifts should not be in competition with each other. If they are, it is a consequence of our misunderstanding or simply our fallen nature at play. Nature and grace are meant to go hand in hand. The more human virtues we possess, such as sincerity and perseverance, the more fruit grace can bear in our lives. This connection between grace and nature is similar to the relationship between faith and works; one builds upon the other. We respond with our works to the gift of faith. Let\u2019s pray for the grace to live greater virtue and thus give even more glory to God by our works.\n\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>We Must Be Open to Receive Grace:<\/strong> The chief priest were more concerned with entrapping Jesus than with learning the truth. Their lack of openness is why Jesus did not directly answer their question. He basically asked them, \u201cAre you willing to acknowledge the hand of God in John\u2019s and my ministries?\u201d When they were evasive, he responded in kind. God wants to give us his grace, but he will not force it upon us. To receive grace, we first have to be open to it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for all the gifts you have given me, both natural and supernatural. Help me grow in human virtues and let those same virtues prepare me to receive your grace and do your will. Let me grow ever more into the person I am called to be, and so better reflect your image to those around me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will respond to any new situation by first asking, \u201cWhat are you showing me? What would you have me do?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> \u201cGrace: What It Is and What It Does,\u201d <em>Catholic Answers<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholic.com\/tract\/grace-what-it-is-and-what-it-does\">https:\/\/www.catholic.com\/tract\/grace-what-it-is-and-what-it-does<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fr.
