Prayer Prompt before reading LK 7:36-50 Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray well, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and God the Son so that I may know who I am.
“BUT THE ONE TO WHOM LITTLE IS FORGIVEN, LOVES LITTLE.” LK 7:36-50
Humbly submit your will to God (thy will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Jesus teaches us today without love and mercy, one will not enter heaven. These two actions are intertwined so completely that they make up the fiber of God’s nature. God did not need to create us, He is God. He needs nothing. He is complete in Himself and we can not add anything to Him. He is made up of love and wanted to share it.
We are the creation that is a result of this overflowing love. We are made in God’s image and likeness along with our parents, who loved each other so much that they decided to give one another themselves ready to sacrifice for the other in the vocation of marriage.
I suck at forgiving. I am stubborn and hard-headed. I think I am always right! Thank God he gave me a big heart and is good at slapping humility on me often. The woman bathed Jesus’ feet with tears. When is the last time you cried in the confessional? Me either.
Every sin hurts our relationship with God and will have to be repaid. We must truly be sorry and continue to work on our limitations and sinful habits. St. Teresa of Avila said, “Don’t allow your sins to become bad habits!” This is the journey to sainthood!
Jesus came to die for our sins. This was His mission and purpose. He has become the bridge that healed the chasm between God and His people after the Fall. Give Jesus your sin, invite Him into your sin, allow Him to continually redeem you at Mass and in the confessional. When we don’t give Jesus our sin, we lose the power of the cross!
When is the last time God didn’t forgive you when you asked Him to? Why do we judge, talk about others, be mean, and live selfishly? We are all in the same boat and have faults. Begin healing your relationships with forgiveness, embrace someone today like Jesus does for you in the confessional each time you have the courage to come back and face your sins.
At that moment, we begin to understand true love and boy does it feel good, even overwhelming at times. Thank you God, send us your grace so we may reflect you better. Amen!
Today’s challenge: Forgive, feel the burden released, and experience love and joy. Tears will flow!
Be a servant, become a saint!
