In our first reading St. Paul thanks the Philippians for their assistance, he is grateful to God for the generosity of the Philippians. Jesus reminds not to focus on accumulating earthly wealth. He reminds to share our wealth with those in need. What we choose to prioritize by our life choices guides how we live and how we love God.
When Martin Luther King Jr. accepted the Nobel Prize he offered this profound reflection, “We have learned to fly in the air like birds and swim in the sea like fish. But we have not learned the simple act of living together as brothers and [sisters].” {Action: Praying in a Contemporary Way, by Mark Link}
Remember that God knows our hearts and when we choose God’s priorities to guide our life our hearts will be filled with God’s joy. Take a few minutes to reflect on your priorities and whether they are in accord with the teachings of Jesus?
May God Be Praised.
