"You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you." Luke 11:40-41
We live in a culture that wants to be fed, they want the easy way, the path of least resistance. This wasn't the path that Jesus chose, He gave of Himself so we may live. He wasn't concerned with outer appearance it was the soul and heart that He pursued. Give of yourself as He did, spend time in the trenches, there is a reason it is called the narrow road.
Dear Lord God, You teach us plainly with Your word and Your example. May I continue to follow You, show us the rich tradition that You started and others followed in Your footsteps. May I be on the narrow road that leads to You. Be my hope and my salvation this day in actions and alms giving as the saints before us accomplished. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Martyrs, pray for us.
Saint Ignatius of Antioch, pray for us.
