“When the days for Jesus to be taken up were fulfilled, he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem. On the way they entered a Samaritan village, to prepare for his reception there, but they would not welcome him because the destination of his journey was Jerusalem.” Luke 9:51-53. Bl. Marija Petkovic said, “Love infinitely the most sweet Lord Jesus Christ, do everything for him alone, and spend your life in works or mercy and of love.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus, still today we reject you in different ways. If our notions of what is good does not fit with the Truth, You are rejected in favor of our own ideas and desires. Oh God, in your mercy, remove the blinders from our eyes, give us hearts of flesh, that we will embrace you, our life, our true home. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
