TOPIC: WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INVESTMENT I CAN MAKE IN MY LIFE?

First Reading: Genesis 11: 1-9
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 33: 10-11, 12-13, 14-15
Alleluia: John 15: 15b
Gospel: Mark 8: 34 – 9:1

Brothers and sisters, today Jesus tells each of us, “Ephphata”. He invites us to open our hearts to the small but meaningful blessings He sends our way each day, the little miracles that shape our lives. These might be as simple as a loving text message from a spouse or a loved one, an unexpected treat at our favorite coffee shop from our son or daughter, or running into a friend we haven’t seen in a long time.  Each of these moments hold the potential to fill our hearts with gratitude if we pause to acknowledge them.

As we celebrate Valentine’s Day today, let us take a moment to thank the Lord for the people we love and those who love us. Above all, let us express our gratitude to Him whose love is beyond all telling.

This is the 1763rd installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.

[NOTE: Let us listen to our brother Harris Jacildo, Sector Leader of CFC Metro Manila South B, 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
