Matthew 8:8
"The centurion said in reply, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed."
We say this at every mass with a slight change, and it always speaks to me. The centurion was a man of power and control, he had authority to direct others. He recognized that Jesus was King, and even with his stature he humbled himself before Jesus. He gave authority to Jesus.
In our own lives we all strive each day to become better people. We should never forget where the ability and power come from, it is not ours. We begin living life only when we recognize that Jesus is the answer, otherwise life will always feel empty. You may have moments of happiness but never fulfillment until we give authority to Jesus.
Lord God, you are Master and King, it is you that we seek in our everyday lives. It is You that can satisfy what ever we are seeking. May we always strive to be who you made us to be and never forget that you are King. Amen!
Have a blessed Saturday!
