Is God too demanding to require us to love Him with ALL our hearts, ALL our souls and ALL our strength?

Modern people are multi-tasking. It is impossible to love God with ALL our strength. But nothing is impossible for God. Jesus is able to power up our mustard-seed like faith to move mountains. So, Jesus is able to charge up our 0.1% strength to love Him. Amen.

Following Jesus

Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor...then come, follow me."

Today’s readings focus on the demands of radical discipleship. Following Jesus which involves non-attachment to material things appears impossible to us. But let us remember, all things are possible for God.

Harmony

God created the universe as a harmonious assembly to sustain and nurture life. This Sunday's readings focus on the relationship within the human family, men, women and the children of course. After all, Jesus says we all belong to God and we are his brother and sister. Come my family.  

Our God is a God who embraces all and has a special predilection for the smallest and the poorest. In Jesus, his Son, God continues to call us to experience and share this universal love.

The liturgy for this Sunday invites us to consider the true wisdom of following Jesus in the path of servanthood and childlikeness. Let us ask God's Spirit to grant us this wisdom that we may overcome all craving for false greatness and worldly values.

Who do you say I am?

Jesus asks. This Sunday's readings invite us to reflect on the theme of right commitments. Life is full of choices. A believer must have a firm base and stand by the choices he or she has made. If you recognize Jesus as the Son of God, will you bear his cross with him?

God's favor.

The readings of this Sunday are on the theme of God's grace.  God wants us to open our eyes and ears to receive his healing grace.  His only request is for us to be faithful.
