"He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, and went according to his custom into the synagogue on the sabbath day. He stood up to read" Luke 4:16
Don't you love traditions, they get passed on from generation to generation. We just took down our Christmas tree and put up all the decorations. Traditions teach values, gives purpose to what we do. In this scripture, Jesus also followed traditions that were given to Him. If we are honest with ourselves, do we seek to follow traditions or do we look for new and exciting ways? I see a world denying Christ and His traditions being deceived by the evil one. There are a lot of things a foot but we as faithful followers of Jesus must follow Him. "Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ." 1 Corinthians 11:1. We go to Church to worship God, not only to be fed, we offer ourselves and give of our time to worship Him that created us.
Dear Lord Jesus, You came so we may follow You and do as You did. Thank You for the wonderful traditions that You gave us. Thank You for all Your faithful servants who give of themselves in sacrifice to Your Holy Orders. Lord, help us examine ourselves as we enter Your presence and may we be in amazement when we come into Your Holy Church to worship You. You are the Truth and the Way, may I follow faithfully and trust in Your guidance. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother Most Pure, pray for us.
