It has taken me a long time to understand that Jesus wants us to follow him not just in scripture, but in work and deed. The road he offers is not easy, but the reward is unfathomable.
Scripture meditation for the Daily Gospel
REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 29 MAY 2012
The reward of our personal relationship with God is infinite. God asks us to give up everything in his honor, and know whatever we have here on earth is his gift to us, that must be cherished and used wisely.
REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 28 MAY 2012
It is only through God that we can be saved, man cannot do it for himself. Understanding that we have to submit and truly share our gifts and riches on this earth with others is sometimes hard to swallow. He promised us salvation, he did not say the path would be easy.
