“THE STONE THAT THE BUILDERS REJECTED HAS BECOME THE CORNERSTONE.” MK 12:1-12
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Today, Jesus uses a parable to describe how the Jews have killed all of the prophets God sent them. Now, God’s only Son, Jesus, has come and they are trying to find a way to put Him to death. They believe He is a blasphemer. Jesus claims to be God, this is blaspheming unless He is who He says He is.
Jesus later quotes David in the Psalms, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes?” Psalm 118:22
How many times has Jesus came to us and we reject Him? If I reflect hard enough, I think, for me, about every day. This is what makes Jesus so special. Even though we fall short of loving Him, sin, give into temptation, He comes back every day ready to love and forgive you. Allow Jesus to love you.
Be vulnerable. We hate that word, vulnerable. It makes us sound weak, our pride despises it. Jesus tells us to die to self (pride/ego), pick up our crosses (brokenness), and follow Him to receive the eternal reward. We are called to joyfully suffer as we await our call to the eternal home with the Father. Jesus is still present and still waiting.
Today’s challenge: Visit Jesus in a quiet empty Church and listen. We know our sins well, this summer try to conquer one of them through frequent reception of the sacraments, a dedicated prayer time, adoration, and avoid the near occasion of sin by breaking the habit that is leading you to sin. Consecrate yourself to Jesus through Mary with a daily consecration prayer. God chose Mary to bring His Son to us we must return to Him through the same instrument, say your rosary daily, no excuses.
Be a servant, be a saint today!
