We are invited to examine the true depth of our spiritual life. Are we merely fulfilling religious obligations, or are we being transformed by our relationship with God and others?

Jesus challenges us to move beyond external observances and into the heart of the Gospel: love, mercy and reconciliation. As St. Paul reminds us, true spiritual growth begins when we turn to the Lord with unveiled faces.

Only then will we experience the freedom that comes from real encounter with Him, a freedom that changes how we see, love, and serve.

Reflection Question: Is my spiritual life marked by religious routine or by a deepening relationship with God that transforms how I love and forgive others?
