"He responded, "Well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written: 'This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me;" Mark 7:6
Can we honor God and live by His commandments if Jesus is not in our hearts? We can go through the motions but it is empty worship, there is no faking God. I look around and see God's creation walking in their own ways following the devil. Is Jesus in your heart, do you hurt when He hurts? Are you exuberant when He is? I do not know what is coming but if you are not prepared you will walk away if Jesus is not in your heart. Ask for Him, pray to Him, worship Him in actions and not empty words.
Dear Heavenly Father, I am sorry for what You are having to endure. You see all from Your lofty perch and it isn't pretty. I am grateful that You give me Jesus, You are preparing this vessel for the future. I trust in You and I am a willing participant in Your salvation plan. May I always be at the ready for Your call. Prayers today for Tyrone, May they be triumphant in their challenge. Prayers also for the people of Ireland may they find Jesus and be reunited with Mother Church. I ask this in the name above every other name, Jesus. Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Good Success, pray for us.
