“There is nothing more practical than love. Love will determine how you spend your time. Love will determine what movies you watch. Love will determine what kinds of things you laugh at. Love will determine what kind of music you listen to. If we truly love Jesus, it has to change our choices.”


There is only one tragedy in the end, not to have been a saint. - Léon Bloy (1846–1917) was a French novelist, essayist, pamphleteer, and poet.

Gospel Text: (Matthew 13:54-58)
Jesus came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue.
They were astonished and said,
"Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds?
Is he not the carpenter's son?
Is not his mother named Mary
and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
Are not his sisters all with us?
Where did this man get all this?"
And they took offense at him.
But Jesus said to them,
"A prophet is not without honor except in his native place
and in his own house."
And he did not work many mighty deeds there
because of their lack of faith.


Reflect, today, on whether or not Jesus is doing mighty deeds in your life.  Are you letting Him transform you daily into a new creation?  Are you letting Him do great things in your life?  If you hesitate in answering this question, it is a clear sign that God wants to do much more in your life.
