Moses of course abandoned his own plans and accepted the Lord's proposal to return to Egypt and liberate his people.

Jesus in the gospel today makes us to understand that the misfortune that brings suffering cannot be understood exclusively as a punishment for personal sins. Jesus declares: "No; but unless you repent you will all perish likewise" (Luke 13:3). It means that if we repent we shall not perish. Repentance means turning away from sin and turning to God - conversion.  Turning to God requires recollection and concentration.
