TOPIC: HOW IS GOD USING THE "WILDERNESS" IN MY LIFE TO CALL ME TO REPENTANCE, RENEWAL, AND MISSION?
First Reading: Baruch 5: 1-9
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 126: 1-2, 2-3, 4-5, 6
Second Reading: Philippians 1: 4-6, 8-11
Alleluia: Luke 3: 4, 6
Gospel: Luke 3: 1-6
In Today’s Gospel, Jesus invites us to examine our lives and align with God through repentance and conversion.
The wilderness, represents unexpected places of encounter with God. It is a reminder to remain open to finding God’s presence in unusual or challenging circumstances. May He renew us with His grace so that, like the many saints before us, we may encounter Him in the wilderness experiences of our lives, and lead us to profound repentance, spiritual renewal, and a commitment to His mission.
This is the 1687th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: Let us listen to our sister Sally Silud, wife of Regional Coordinator for East Asia Israel Slid, as she 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]
