In today's gospel, Jesus calls us to a life of integrity, humility, and vigilance against sin.

Jesus emphasized that anyone who acts in His name is doing good, regardless of their background. Jesus warns us against causing others to sin, stressing that it is better to rid oneself of anything that leads to sin than to face eternal consequences.

This is the 1617th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.

[NOTE: Let us listen to our brother Israel Silud, Regional Coordinator for 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]
