TOPIC: CAN YOU TRUST GOD AT TIMES WHEN YOU FEEL INSIGNIFICANT IN DOING THE MISSION?
First Reading: Ezekiel 2: 8 – 3: 4
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 119: 14, 24, 72, 103, 111, 131
Alleluia: Matthew 11: 29
Gospel: Matthew 18: 1-5, 10, 12-14
Many times, as we partake in the mission of Christ, we may feel little or insignificant, that we do not know much, or deem ourselves irrelevant where we are placed. But just like how Jesus gave importance to the little child and the one sheep that went astray, He sees our value. We are important. We have a special place. He will use us. He will empower us!
St. Therese of Lisieux reminds us, "Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love." Let us trust in God's eyes that see each of us as valuable and important in His heart.
This is the 1569th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: Let us listen to our brother Lawrence Quintero, a member of the CFC International Council, 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]
