Mk 12:38-44 She put in everything she had What does it mean to give God everything we have? Yes it could mean that we place everything we have at His disposal and for His glory. But it also means that when we give, we give with our whole heart and being. It means that we can give to another person without expecting nor wanting anything in return. Lord may we find our inspiration in You whenever we give of ourselves. Help us to be truly selfless. #PrayVD

Mk 12:35-37 He is more than the Son of David Is it possible to limit what Jesus can do or who Jesus is? We say that with Him all things are possible and this is true. But despite this we can put limits on Him when we fail to put our full trust and faith in Him. When we doubt what He can do for us and in us, we limit how much we can accomplish thru Him. Let us believe in Jesus with all our heart and mind! #PrayVD

Mk 12:28-34 Love is worth much more than burnt offerings Have you heard the saying that what is most essential is invisible to the eye? Today Jesus reminds us that loving God is far more important than exterior acts of worship. Going to the Holy Eucharist or making donations to the Church are very important and we must continue doing these. But let us not forget what is in our hearts. Let us, above all remember to love God, especially through our neighbors! #PrayVD

Mk 12:18-27 He is God of the living, not the dead. These days it seems like death is all around us. Will we put our Lord to the test because of our doubts and our discouragement, just like the religious leaders? Or will we continue believing and putting our trust in Him? If we see our Lord as the one who gives hope and life, we will find the strength to hold on no matter what we see happening around us. Lord help us to avoid the behavior of the Pharisees and help us not to out you to the test. #PrayVD

Mk 12:13-17 Render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar The Lord today reminds us of duty and obligation, even those duties we do not like or are tempted to abandon. Like the Pharisees we reject our duty because we resent the people who obligate us. But to neglect our duty is also to reject the Lord in a way. Lord help us have the godly view on our duties and responsibilities. Help us to see that to fulfill our duty is to honor You and that rendering service to others is really rendering service to You. #PrayVD |
