Daily Reflections

Today’s reading from Matthew 13:47-53 is a parable in which Jesus tells us that at the end of times, everyone will be gathered like fish in a net and sorted as good or bad.

Taking time to hear God’s response, engaging God in our own covenant dialog could possibly be an opportunity to deepen our relationship with God and grow deeper in the love God has for us.

We are called to walk together with our sisters and brothers from all walks of life, to listen to their story and to respond in faith to how God is calling us to help make a difference in the lives of so many in need.

Humble beginnings can have an extraordinary outcome when God is at work. Little is much when God is in it.

God blesses us in many ways, but it is still our choice of what to do with the blessings God has given us.

As today we journey from our own tribulation to glory, St. James, pray for us.

May we continue to be the rich soil that bears fruit not only in our lives but in the lives of all those we encounter on our faith journey!

Blessed are we when we can see God’s love for all people and all of creation.

St. Mary Magdalene is the woman who seeks, remains, encounters, and proclaims.

Have you ever offended someone and asked for forgiveness and then you wondered whether you were really forgiven?
