St. Paul Prays for All to have the Spirit that Allows You to Appreciate the Glorious Goodness of What God has Done . . . For You!

 

There is a beautiful wisdom that underlines the words Jesus gives us in today’s Gospel.

Today’s Gospel tells us about acknowledging Him. Jesus also says that one is not to be worried or troubled if dragged before hostile people. Difficult? Yes! Hear more within the Homily!

St. Paul Prays For Us!

In the first reading Paul does not pray for people to say or do great things. He prays that people will grow in spirit to appreciate the lesser things. Christians, perhaps all humans, often focus on great things. We often put the greater things ahead of the lesser things. That is not what St. Paul prays for the early Church . . . and for us!

He Prays for Us to Have the Spirit . . .

St. Paul prays for all to have the spirit that allows you to appreciate the glorious goodness of what God has done . . . for you! He also prays for you to have an understanding and an appreciation of the Hope that God has for you!
