Always take gospel passages in context. Consider the three times Our Lord shed tears. For Lazarus; He mourns the sins in our personal relationships. For Jerusalem; He mourns His nation and the blindness that causes its destruction. For the world: His creation is in open rebellion and sin has alienated them from the love of God. Our Lord then cleanses the temple of those who use spiritual goods to make a profit. What terrible corruption when religious are more concerned with material good than the salvation of souls. As the leaders go, so go the people. We must pay for the sins of our shepherds. As the Church goes, so goes the world. Nevertheless, St. Luke is giving us the solution to the problems we currently face.
