In today’s episode of Refreshing Bread, Fr. Calin Tamiian speaks about the young rich aristocrat’s emotional interaction with Jesus. But as Jesus points out, emotions alone are not enough. Worshipping God should be both in spirit and truth. We need to verify our emotions in the truth of the scriptures and in the spirit of the gospel in following Christ.

What are the emotions that accompany us when contemplating the gift of God in the manger in Bethlehem? Similarly, to these emotions, we are invited to rely also on faithfulness and obedience, trust and patience, humble heartedness and meekness as we continue our journey to getting to know God better.

Mark 10:17-27
