Jesus offers us a challenge when it comes to prayer today. Why do I even need to pray? How am I supposed to do it? What about when God doesn't seem to answer? Today Jesus invites us to authentic prayer that focuses not on getting things but on getting to know Someone.
With life moving faster and faster, how can we develop a vision of seeing where God is in the things we experience? Does He even care? He does!! More than we realize!
Jesus knows his mission.. he knows where he is heading! Sometimes we look back at our past, on what and who we left behind, but we have to keep looking forward! What's your mission? Where are you heading? What are you looking at?
Happy Independence Day! In todays society we have a backwards view of "Freedom!" But today's Gospel speaks to us about true freedom... a freedom which goes beyond pleasure or doing what we must must do... True freedom is the moral right to do what we ought to do!
