Topic: ARE YOU SELF-CENTERED OR CROSS-CENTERED?
First Reading: Nahum 2: 1, 3; 3: 1-3, 6-7
Responsorial Psalm: Deuteronomy 32: 35cd-36ab, 39abcd, 41
Alleluia: Matthew 5: 10
Following Jesus is not self-centered, but it is cross-centered. If anyone wishes to follow Him, one must be willing to die for oneself daily. But there is great value in doing so, for Jesus also said, "For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." (Matthew 16:25). It is promises like this that inspired saints, martyrs, and countless others to give their lives for the cause of Jesus, just like the two persons in our opening story. He also promised, "For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory, and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct." (Matthew 16:27). Life is short and we only live once. Let us make it count for Jesus and invest in eternal life.
This is the 1565thth installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: Let us listen to our brother Jess Ferrer as he brings us today's reflection.
All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
