The Christian life calls to encourage one another at all times. This is the mission entrusted to us by Christ himself. We are challenged to be instruments of God’s healing, teaching reconciling, and leading others back to friendship with God. The best testimony of faith and witness is to uplift others, especially in their weaknesses and failures.
The Mission of Christ and every Christian missionary is the willingness to serve others generously and selflessly. This is the greatest missionary statement of all times: “For the Son of Man has come not to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many. Mark 10:45
The way of discipleship is letting go of self-determination to control things, situations, and persons in our lives to be happy and at peace. Today’s readings challenge us to let go of our sense of self-sufficiency, dependence, security, control, possession of power, wealth, and fame.
The Christian Marriage has its foundation in God! It is God’s divine plan for a man and a woman. It is only pro-creational in collaboration with the divine plan. It is also the propagation, nourishment and sustenance of the human race on earth.
