TOPIC: DO I HAVE THE LOVE, COMPASSION, AND COURAGE TO REACH OUT TO OTHERS?
First Reading: First John 3: 22 – 4: 6
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 2: 7bc-8, 10-11
Alleluia: Matthew 4: 23
Gospel: Matthew 4: 12-17, 23-25
It's not always easy to approach people in deep need, especially those whom society tends to avoid or look down on. It takes a kind and merciful heart to see their dignity and help them find healing and hope. Reaching out to others, especially those who are struggling, requires humility and a willingness to let go of judgment. Jesus came into this world to bring healing and salvation to everyone. He calls us to help bring others to Him, no matter what their struggles are or how society views them. So, who in your life needs that kind of care right now? Is there someone who is hurting or lost, someone you may be tempted to judge or avoid? Maybe it's someone who is physically sick or perhaps, someone struggling emotionally, spiritually, or morally. How do you treat them?
This is the 1716th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: [NOTE: Let us listen to our brother Eric Villanueva, Mission Head for CFC Europe and the Africa, 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]
