Today, reflect on the apostles' disordered desires and Jesus' gentle correction. Then look into your own heart to discover where Jesus wants to bring change. Don't fear the truth He speaks. Be open, listen, and accept His guidance, so you can experience the freedom and joy He offers.

Reflect today on how you've responded to judgement in the past. Did you judge back, react with anger, or lose your peace? If so, commit to trusting Jesus' words today. Believe that He will be with you in those difficult moments and pray for the grace to respond as the Holy Spirit directs.

Reflect on the truth that the Gospel is for everyone. Tell God you are ready to share His message with others. If someone comes to mind, pray for them daily and be open to how God may guide you in reaching out. Don't be afraid to follow Saint Luke's example. Sharing the Gospel could have an eternal impact on someone's life.

Reflect today on any moments when you’ve felt hostility toward another person. What fruit did it bear? Did it glorify God, or leave you feeling agitated and restless? Were you thinking clearly, or was your perspective clouded by pride and anger? Be honest in your reflection, and you will begin to find freedom from this kind of thinking. Trust that God will handle justice. Your job is to forgive, show love, and focus on following God’s will with peace and charity.

Take some time to reflect on what has recently upset you. Could it be that God is using these moments to show you an area in need of change? If you feel defensive, it might be a sign that you need to address something within yourself. A pricked conscience is a gift from God, an opportunity to grow. Embrace it, rather than taking offense, and you will be on the path to greater holiness.

Reflect on Jesus’ strong words: "You fools!" Don’t take offense, these are words of love. Jesus uses them to wake the Pharisee up to his hypocrisy. Hear them as if spoken to you. We all need to be transformed internally. Maybe pride has led you to judge others, or perhaps you’re unaware of sins that need addressing. By accepting these words with humility, Jesus can open your eyes to areas in your life that need change.

Today, think about any decision you're facing. Are you approaching it with Jesus' example in mind? Are you considering how you can lay down your life for others in love, as Jesus did? When we base our decisions on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we find the only sign we truly need to navigate life's challenges.

Take time to reflect today. Is there anything God asks of you that you find hard to accept? Any commands you tend to ignore or rationalise? To enter Heaven, we must be fully committed to God. Jesus doesn't hesitate to ask for everything from us. Consider what attachments you’re holding onto, and listen for Jesus speaking to you, as He did to the rich young man. Let go of your astonishment and make total surrender to God your way of life.

Reflect today on how well you are hearing and observing God's Word. Are there distractions, anxieties, or competing "voices" in your life that make it difficult to hear Jesus clearly? Or are there areas where you struggle to put His teachings into practice? 

Recommit yourself to listening more attentively to the Lord, shutting out the noise of the world, and being obedient to His voice. When you do, you will find that the blessings He promises are abundant and life-givin

Take time today to reflect on how fully you are "with" Jesus. Do you fully accept all of His teachings? Are you actively seeking to live them out and share them with others? If you find that you struggle to stand firm in the truth or to share it with others, allow Jesus' words to challenge and inspire you. Embrace the grace He offers to boldly build up His Kingdom in your heart and in the world.
