“FROM THE FULLNESS OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS.” LK 6:43-49
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 6:43-49: 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 teaches us to be true to Him in Luke’s gospel today. Our intentions are either good or evil. Jesus probes our heart and knows it. Have you really bought into Jesus’s message or are you still sitting on the fence? Jesus requires us to make a choice, “You either gather with me or scatter” and “You are either with me or against me”.
There is no fence in Christianity. He is who He says He is or He is not. He either resurrected or He didn’t. He is either the Savior or not. We must bring ourselves to God’s grace through the Sacraments, conquer self, carry our crosses, pray and follow Him daily and have good intentions in our heart, “for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.”
He then teaches us what happens when we come to Him in the Scriptures, reflect on His Word, and allow the Word to transform our thoughts and actions, “I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, listens to my words, and acts on them”. We will have great faith and not be shaken. ”But the one who listens and does not act” will collapse and be completely destroyed. We see this in our lives frequently with giving into temptation or our fallen human nature. If we are not prepared, we fall easily. Victory is in total surrender and trust in God.
Today’s challenge: Start building your faith on solid ground, read the Word, reflect on it and put it into action allowing God to transform you
Be a servant, be a saint today!
