“THERE IS SOMETHING GREATER THAN JONAH HERE.” LK 11:29-32

Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.

Prayer Prompt before reading LK 11:29-32: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father and God the Son are so that I may know who I am.

Jesus continues to explain to the crowds gathered around him that He must die and rise to save us. The wisdom of Solomon was powerful, the preaching of repentance by Jonah to the Ninevites helped save a huge city, but Jesus teaches us today that He is God and through His death and resurrection He will set us free from our sin, conquer death, and defeat Satan.

Today, Jesus personally asks each one of us to stop searching in other places for peace, joy, happiness, and to find ourselves. He alone has the answers. He alone is enough. Listen in prayer. Invite Him into your daily struggles, suffering, prayer, and joys. We are a distracted people and we look in all of the wrong places for happiness.

God alone is pure joy, much greater than happiness. He alone gives us what our hearts long for, Himself, because our identity is found in Him. We are seeking Love, Truth, purpose, a direction each day we wake and it can only be found in God. May He see our belief in Him by the way we treat others, in our prayer, and by fasting.

Today’s challenge: Stop searching for happiness in all of the wrong places. Christ alone gives us what we are looking for. Learn to be still and listen to Christ in your heart. “Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be open to you.” MT 7:7

Be a servant, be a saint today!
