Words of Jesus
"For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward." "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea." "Indeed, if it is your own hand that spoils your faith, you must cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than to keep both your hands and go to the rubbish-heap, if your foot spoils your faith, you must cut it off. It is better to enter life on one foot than to keep both your feet and be thrown on to the rubbish-heap. And if your eye leads you astray, pluck it out. It is better for you to go one-eyed into the kingdom of God than to keep both eyes and be thrown on to the rubbish-heap, where 'their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched'. For everyone will be salted by fire." "Salt is a very good thing; but if it should lose its saltiness, what can you do to restore its flavor? You must have salt in yourselves, and live at peace with each other."
Mark 9:41-50
The affairs of God are accomplished little by little and almost imperceptibly. The Spirit of God is neither violent nor hasty. He does all things in His time.
— St Vincent de Paul
Abba, Father, Lord God, thank You for Your blessings and this day, the birthday of my baby girl who through Jesus opened my heart to what true love is and began the process and chain of events that resulted in the awakening my soul through my spirit being to Your presence within me through the Holy Spirit and convicted me of my to have 'salt' and to restore its flavor daily through this time with You. Today's readings are filled with words of warning and fact, in wisdom and knowledge. For I know what it is like to be in the rubbish-heap, but for Your grace and mercy, the love of Jesus and my baby girl would remained. So with an open heart, awakened spirit and thankful soul I give praise and thank You Lord God. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
