TOPIC: ARE WE IN TUNE WITH WHAT THE LORD DESIRES FOR US?
First Reading: Jeremiah 13: 1-11
Responsorial Psalm: Deuteronomy 32: 18-19, 20, 21
Alleluia: John 8: 12
Gospel: John 11: 19-27 or Luke 10: 38-42
In our prayer time today, let's reflect on the contrasting responses of Martha and Mary to Jesus' visit. Martha is busy with preparations while Mary sits at Jesus' feet, listening to His words. Ponder on the importance of prioritizing His presence over our busyness. This passage reminds us that while service is valuable, it should not overshadow our need for spiritual nourishment and connection with God. It is this spiritual nourishment that truly fulfills us and brings us closer to God.
This is the 1554th 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]
