REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 7 SEPTEMBER 2011

Jesus provides the disciples with simple clear instructions of how to live their lives and send his message to others.

These simple and powerful guidelines will lead us to a rewarding life not just in heaven but here on earth.

Worldly goods are but gifts that will be returned or passed on, but through grace and our acts we can spread his gifts to others every waking hour.

REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 6 SEPTEMBER 2011

Jesus prayed to his Father for guidance. Perhaps because he was about to select the men who would form the basis for his new Church.

All of the disciples followed, but they still had free will. Judas betrayed him, putting himself ahead of the Chosen One.

We only have to get close to him and we will be healed as well.

REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 5 SEPTEMBER 2011

Man made temples and traditions that keep the powerful in power on earth are meaningless if they do not follow God’s rules.

Jesus shows the Pharisees they cannot contain his power, or when it should be exercised purely by following their rules. They don’t just deny his power, but activity plot how they can hurt Jesus to stop him undermining their own earthly power.

Jesus teaches us what we do is more important than what day we do it on. He also encourages us to take action in adversity, when our true colors will shine through.
