The Words of Jesus of Nazareth

The Call

You have not chosen me. I have chosen you, and appointed you to produce good fruit from the lives that you live, fruit that will last.

V

Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful for knowing You are there, humbled by how I get in Your way and my lack of ability to draw upon You as my source or source and letting You work in and flow through me as I walk, talk and interact with others. 

V

Before prayer, endeavor to realize whose Presence you are approaching, and to whom you are about to speak. We can never fully understand how we ought to behave towards God, before whom the angles tremble.

— St. Teresa of Avila

Acts 28:11-16, 30-31
Psalm 98:1-6
Matthew 14:22-33

22  And the servant said, `Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’  23  And the master said to the servant, `Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled.  24  For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.’"  25  Now great multitudes accompanied him; and he turned and said to them,  26  "If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.  27  Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.  28  For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?  29  Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,  30  saying, `This man began to build, and was not able to finish.’  31  Or what king, going to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?  32  And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an embassy and asks terms of peace.  33  So therefore, whoever of you does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

The Pontiff in Winter: Triumph and Conflict in the Reign of John Paul II By John Cornwell Narrated by John Lee – Pope John Paul II is one of the most famous and influential political figures of the world. Now, best-selling author and journalist John Cornwell has written an accessible and provocative portrait of this highly charged figure, focusing primarily on the last five years and the major world events, and scandals within the Church that have impacted the papacy. The result is a thoughtful assessment of John Paul II’s legacy to the Church. In an age when many people see the Catholic Church as an institution in crisis, Cornwell raises the level of debate by posing difficult questions; chief among them is the effectiveness of a system that grants lifetime power to an individual vulnerable to the vicissitudes of aging and illness.
