“It’s meaning was hidden from them.” LK 9:43-45
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
We learn today that Jesus is, “The Christ of God,” “The Son of Man” who must suffer greatly by the hands of men. The same men He has came to save. He reveals that He will die and rise on the third day. Everything about His identity is wrapped up in this revelation. If Jesus does not die and rise, our faith does not exist. We are called to die and rise like Christ. We are to die to our ego and put on Christ. With His grace, we are called to rise above the darkness, sin, and chaos of the world and live a rightly ordered life.
Family members would die for each other, but why Jesus? Jesus, who is God, came to earth to show God’s love and mercy. God the Father’s only desire is to have His children back with Him in heaven. God the Father is our Creator and desires friendship with us more than anyone else in the world. Jesus, who is God, came to earth to show God’s love and mercy. He died, rose on the third day, and gave us new life through baptism. Every moment alive is a moment God has given to us as a gift. His love is much greater than ours.
One of the greatest ways we can imitate Him is by dying for Him like He died for us. Not all of us are called to be martyrs, but we are called to die to self and put on Christ for others so that others can see Christ in us and be inspired to be holier. Pray, be humble, die to self and live in peace and joy. May we be inspired by God’s great love and share this love with others.
Today’s challenge: Reflect on the identity of Jesus. Our identity is wrapped up in His through Baptism. Strive each day with God’s grace, love, and mercy to be more like Christ. Cooperate with God’s Will. This is not a decision for the death bed but now. Few people convert on their death bed. This is a decision for warriors, those seeking adventure! The divine became human so the human could become divine!
Be a servant, be a saint today!
