Words of Jesus
Peter began to say to him, "Lo, we have left everything and followed you." Jesus said, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life. But many that are first will be last, and the last first."
Mark 10:28-31
If things go well let's rejoice, blessing God, who makes them prosper. And if they go wrong? Let's rejoice, blessing God, who allows us to share in the sweetness of His Cross.
— St Josemaria Escriva
Abba, Father, Lord God, thank You for this day, a chance to overcome myself through faith worked out in works driven by hope wrapped in love. Taking St. Peters advice I will 'gird up my mind, be sober, set my hope fully upon the grace that is coming to me at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As an obedient child, I will be aware and work to not be conformed to the passions of my former ignorance, but as Jesus is holy, seek to be holy myself in all your conduct, word and thought ; since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."' I ask that You help me use these words to lift me out of the shadows created in my mind by my doubt so that I can walk in the light of Jesus able to as St. Josemaria tells us today 'rejoicing in all the blessings You have given me as well as maintaining a joyous spirit even when things go wrong by placing myself at the feet of Jesus. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
