In one of Jesus' parables He is said to have related to His followers,'noone when planning to build a house or any other undertaking does not do so without first considering he costs.I hate to contradict this parable,but when you put on Christ,don't even worry about or consider the expense or the cross or crosses you will be carrying. Eternal life with Him in heaven is worth it all!

Beautiful reflection from today’s Gospel, Deacon Mark. “Abandon all that holds you back from your “yes.” The Lord trusts in your ability, faith, and courage. Trust Him, love Him. He waits daily for your and my, “yes.” Do not hesitate.” - a powerful reminder to make Christ the center of our gravity. I needed to be reminded of this today 🙏

What I always find so amazing about Jesus is that He trusts us. If you think about it, God has entrusted us with the great responsibility to help Him transform the world through love. The fact that He trusts us, His flock, to do this is really mindboggling.
