Jesus assures us that struggles—poverty, hunger, sorrow, and rejection—are not failures but opportunities for deeper faith. At the same time, He warns us not to rely on wealth, comfort, and human approval, as these can distract us from our ultimate goal: eternal life with Him.
God's graces are not always seen in the way the world measures success. Instead, they are found in love, service, and trust in Him. We are invited to live out the Beatitudes, to joyfully follow Christ and to seek His kingdom above all.
This is the 1757th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: Let us listen to our brother Israel Silud, Regional Coordinator os East Asia, 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
