TOPIC: DO WE KNOW THE VALUE OF GIVING UP OUR RIGHTS FOR THE WELL-BEING OF OTHERS?
First Reading: Ezekiel 1: 2-5, 24-28c
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 148: 1-2, 11-12, 13, 14
Alleluia: Second Thessalonians 2: 14
Gospel: Matthew 17: 22-27
In our prayer time today, let us reflect on the example of Jesus, who chose love and consideration over entitlement. Let us recall the times when we gave up our rights for the benefit of others. It could be as simple as giving up your seat on the bus for an elderly person or yielding to another driver even if you have the right of way to prevent accidents and maintain road safety.
This is the 1568th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: Let us listen to our brother Eric Villanueva, Mission Head for CFC Europe and the Americas, as he brings us today's reflection.
All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
