How often do we catch ourselves whining and complaining? (Be honest!) The fact is that it seldom helps, whereas the practice of patience and perseverance can strengthen our souls.

Feb 22, 2022

When asked by the Lord, the disciples offered many answers about the identity of Jesus. Peter, however, gets it right: he is the Christ! May our lives proclaim this truth each and every day.

The first reading offers practical advice to help us evaluate the spiritual state of our souls.  Do we find bitterness, jealousy, or self-ambition?  Instead, may we cultivate the fruits of the Spirit, a true harvest that comes from Heaven.

The Lord's teaching in Luke's Gospel has powerful consequences for our spiritual lives. When we love - especially in difficult moments of conflict - we embrace the grace of Christ and live the gift of life at full power. This is not an easy teaching! The Lord, however, is always near to help us put his love into practice.

The example of our lives (our "works") reveals our faith. This fruitfulness of our actions expresses our love for Christ. May our faith shine forth in the works we do as we offer our lives today.

As the kingdom breaks down and Jeroboam challenges Solomon, we see the devastating effects of division. May we apply the lesson to our own lives as well.
