Like Martha, we may be “anxious and worried about many things.” Our distress will be eased when, like Mary, we learn to sit at the feet of Jesus. In his presence, we find peace and serenity and his Word brings consolation and guidance. “Lord, save us from all distress.”
The world teaches us that greatness is found in what we accomplish and accumulate. Yet, St. James learned from Jesus the true meaning of greatness. We find it when we follow him unreservedly; take up our cross; and seek “to serve and not to be served.” Have a “great” day.
Yes, and it’s been fun watching all the guys yelling “panikan” at people for being 100% correct now having to pretend they always opposed the conflict
Shameless but what are they going to do, admit that they destroyed the MAGA agenda for a pat on the head?
St. Bridget of Sweden: “The source of justice is not vengeance but charity.” With God’s grace, may we do our part through our speech and actions to bring charity into our world, homes, and communities and to all those we meet today.
Amid the challenges we are facing in our nation and perhaps in our lives, we are told as was Mary Magdalene: “Do not weep; the Lord is risen!” He has conquered evil, suffering, and death. So, do not be sad today but rejoice in the Good News that Jesus is alive and with us!
Jesus reminds us that “wheat and weeds” (good and evil) coexist in our world and lives. Do not get discouraged when you see the weeds. Because of God’s healing love, the power of the weeds to choke is not superior to the power of the wheat to grow and thrive.
Jesus says that his disciples must be “all in” and not lukewarm. Is there any behavior, possession, or worldly goal taking priority over your relationship with the Lord? Consider making the necessary steps so your “yes” to him is not halfhearted. Be “all in” today and always.
