Jesus said to the Apostles:
“Who among you would say to your servant
who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field,
‘Come here immediately and take your place at table’?
Would he not rather say to him,
‘Prepare something for me to eat.
Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink.
You may eat and drink when I am finished’?
Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded?
So should it be with you.
When you have done all you have been commanded, say,
‘We are unprofitable servants;
we have done what we were obliged to do.’”
Today, Jesus reminds us that everything we have is because of the grace of God. Without God, human beings have nothing but sin and suffering. With God and His grace, we have hope and we can offer the suffering up to purify us. How different things would be if we could not be forgiven for our sins? The attitude of a servant is to be faithful and completely dependent on God’s grace, love, and mercy. The attitude of a servant is accept the taxing demands of a Christian disciple as our duty. This Gospel comes right after the disciples ask Him to “increase their faith”. Do you have faith? Are you ready for the battle? If you are all in, be ready to be tested and to fight the Devil. God’s grace never fails and is more powerful. God will always prevail. Submit and accept Him.
Today’s challenge: Trust God, completely renounce your will and give yourself totally to God and His will, fight and persevere
Become a saint!
