108 - Jesus Does Not Reject, But He Does Challenge!

Listen Later

Have you ever felt pulled in many different directions? Your faith tells you one thing, but the world tells you something different?

It can be sooooo easy to want to give in to the world. We can easily justify our actions and beliefs and fall for temporary happiness or a life of ease over the difficulties God calls us to walk through. 

But that temporary happiness is just that - temporary! 

God cares about your life here on earth today, but He cares far more about what happens after you leave this world and enter eternity in the next!

The Mass readings surrounding Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day compel us to remember our death, or as the Latin says, "Memento Mori."

They remind us that we live for so much more than what we see here today.

This reminder reassures us that God never rejects us, but it also calls us to a challenge of living like Him and for Him!

It calls us to live as Jesus did.

It tells us to uncompromisingly fulfill the will of the Father over our own will or what the world tells us.

The question is, will you rise to the Lord's challenge? 

God Bless...
