Likeness of Christ:
Every sister and brother ought to grow in the likeness of Christ so that Christ may live his life of compassion and humility in today’s world.
Demanding Signs:
The Pharisees demanded signs from Jesus. Such demands showed that they either had no faith of who Jesus is or they were downright arrogant. Who are we to make demands from God? We are mere creatures: weak and sinful. In fact, we all need to beg for God's Mercy and Forgiveness.
====================================================================
We must force ourselves to detach our heart and will from all earthly loves, except for the love of God. We must love no fleeting thing. Above all, we must not love God selfishly for our own sake, but with a love as pure as his own goodness.
- St. Catherine Dei Ricci (1522-1590)
