"The devil will try to upset you by accusing you of being unworthy of the blessings that you have received. Simply remain cheerful and do your best to ignore the devil's nagging. If need be even laugh at the absurdity of the situation..."~St Theresa of Avila

Today’s Gospel includes the parable of a fig tree that bears no fruit.
The tree that bears no fruit is evocative of the moral person who bears no spiritual fruit. We can become so resistant to God’s grace that our leaves dry up.

“Do not be downhearted because of scandals in the Church. Jesus Himself warned that scandals would come, & that the wicked would be judged & punished. We should rest in His promise. We should rest in His one true Church, even if within the Church we find much unrest.” -Scott H.

Friends, the command to love calls us to a new way of living. The more you love, the more you are going to see the world with the eyes of Christ, and the more you are going to think about other people with the mind of Christ.

The true face of love is mercy. Practicing it, we become a disciple of Jesus and the heart of the Father shows itself.

The Gospel for today is incomparably rich and mysterious.
We notice that peculiar question, “Who do people say that I am?”
No other religious figure would ask such a question. This is the primordial and peculiar question of the Christian faith.

Today's Gospel reminds us that the wisdom of the heart lies in knowing how to combine contemplation and action. Let us ask for the grace to love and serve God, and our brothers and sisters, with the hands of Martha and the heart of Mary.

Never tire of encountering Jesus in prayer, in listening to the Word of God, and in receiving the Eucharist.

Jesus of Nazareth walks at our side and introduces us, by his words and the signs he performs, to the great mystery of the Father’s love.

Jesus is always there with an open heart. He throws open the mercy that he has in his heart. He forgives, embraces, and understands.

Friends, one Christian is being killed every hour, every day — just for the “crime” of believing in Jesus. Never take your faith for granted
