Reaching the State of Grace:

In order to be raised up, one must be lowered, says the Gospel. In order to be caught up in loving grace we must hide in the crevice of Christ, our rock.

Trust in God:

In today’s Gospel Jesus asks us to trust Him totally and unconditionally. Do we dare to “burn our bridges” of humansecurity and comfort today to serve God’s Kingdom? God wants us to accept His challenge to live in His ways. Do we trust God enough to take up the challenge?

==================================================================

Oh, how well I know that happiness is not found in the things around us. It is found in the secrecy of the soul.

- Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
