Let's take a moment to reflect on Matthew 9:14-17. Jesus is the bridegroom and we, as the church, are his bride. This profound mystery should affect the way we approach mass and the Eucharist.

Today we reflect upon the gospel of Matthew 9:9-12. Jesus dines with tax collectors sinners. We are not called to live only within our little faith communities, but rather to spread the gospel and minister to others.

What would Jesus do if he was walking the earth right now? Would he reprimand you for your lack of mercy toward others?

How often did Jesus love those who were obvious sinners in society? We are called to do the same and love those around us who are lost, hurting, and in need of God’s mercy.

Today we take a moment to reflect on Romans 5:12-14. “Yet death exercised dominion from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam.”  Original sin reveals to us how everything is connected. We are impacted by the choices of our parents and our ancestors. Our sinful natures are due to the choices of Adam and Eve. But no matter what has happened to you, or what you have done, God’s love and mercy for you is beyond measure.

Today we reflect on Acts 13:22-26. “No, but one is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong of the sandals on his feet.” Saint John the Baptist understood that the Messiah was The Word of God made flesh. We should learn from John to have reverence for Christ, our Savior, and recognize also the incredible love of God to descend to us at every mass in the Eucharist.

Today we dive into the gospel of Matthew 6:19-23. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal.” Are we sacrificing the importance of faith to elevate certain achievements in life? Worldly things will eventually fade away. The only thing that really lasts is a relationship with our Lord.
