"Jesus said in reply, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?" They said to him, "We can." Matthew 20:22
Day 14 of our Lenten journey: Jesus spoke clearly of what was coming for the Son of Man yet John and James did not perceive what He was saying. Their thoughts were upon themselves and a place of honor. How many of us in our own lives want that place of honor. The place of honor we seek is in Heaven not here upon earth and we will send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears until we arrive there. John and James also wanted to be right next to Jesus and it is Jesus who will make us Holy in our daily lives. Turn your eyes upon Jesus and trust in Him who leads you. He will make you Holy and there is much need of Holy people in this world. Just look around you, you encounter many that are lost in their selfish desires. Be that Holy person in your normal daily life sharing the light of Christ.
Dear Lord, history will repeat itself one more time for it is playing out in front of us each day. Make us Holy in our daily walk, help us see the lost and needy, open up opportunities to give of you to those that You are drawing near. May the fruit of the spirit be a willing heart, maybe not understanding what we are saying "I can" to but trusting in You who has walked before us. Intensify our love of You and make us Holy. I ask this in the name above every other name, Jesus Christ, our living hope, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Divine Grace, pray for us.
