Saturday of the 28th Week in Ordinary Time - Luke 12:8-12
In this Gospel reading, Jesus warns his
disciples that every person who acknowledges him before others, will be
acknowledged by him before the angels of God. Jesus then states that
anyone who denies him before others will be denied before the angels of God.
These are very strong words!
I doubt that most of us deny Jesus by our words.
However, we more likely may deny Jesus by our actions and our inaction.
Jesus not only desires that we practice what we preach, he hopes that we
truly practice what we profess to believe. Today I invite you to
take 10-15 minutes and ask yourself: Do I practice what I preach? Do I
truly live out of the values I profess? Where are my weak spots? In
what areas of my life do I want to strengthen my authenticity?
Take one small step each day to become more
authentic and strive to practice what you preach. Who is the person you
yearn to be? Today, be the person you desire to become. Who knows?
It may become a pattern in your life. Turn to Jesus and he will
help you to become all you long to be. Jesus will not fail you!
However, patience and commitment is required!
