Daily Reflection (10/25/2023)

​

Perhaps St. Paul’s words in today’s first reading from Romans 6 are ones we should read every day, or even commit to memory. “For sin is not to have any power over you, since you are not under the law but under grace.” We are under grace!! In the Gospel reading from Luke 12, Jesus tells a parable of two servants, one faithful, the other unfaithful.

​

Have you ever wondered what God expects of you? Dumb question, right? I don’t know about you, but I often wonder what God expects of me. And then I recall Jesus’ words from today’s Gospel reading. “Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” So, I can’t say what God expects of you, but I can tell you what He expects of me. A LOT!!!!

​

I have been given so much. Faith, a loving family, health, unique talents, a place in the Kingdom…the list goes on and on. So I know that, since much has been entrusted to me, much will be required. Now, this doesn’t mean that we are to think of God as a strict taskmaster. Quite the contrary. We must think of him as a loving Father. What parent does not expect much from their children? Now, they don’t always deliver, do they? But then again, neither do I. But God understands, forgives, and continues to expect much from me. How about you? Have you, too, been given much?

​

Father, we thank you for giving us so much. Help us to acknowledge your many gifts, and to realize that you require much from us. Then give us the grace, strength, and desire to deliver. Amen.

Weekly Gospel: 10/29/2023

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

​

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,
they gathered together, and one of them,
a scholar of the law tested him by asking,
"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
He said to him,
"You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

Mt 22:34-40
