Daily Readings: Isaiah 2:1-5; Matthew 8:5-11
We have nothing to brag about before the Lord—none of our achievements, positions, titles, or possessions. But the Lord exalts a person of faith.
Who is a person of faith?
The Gospel tells us that a person of faith bows before God, no matter the power or wealth they possess. A person of faith acknowledges that it is His love and mercy that makes us worthy to stand before Him. Indeed, everything is grace. We are just stewards. The works of our hands are made worthy by the love and mercy of God.
Being so, whatever we have, whatever we can do, should not only benefit us but also others, especially those in need.
Do you bow before the Lord? Will the Lord invite us to His banquet because we have been men and women of faith?
A Call to Action for Catholic Living: Humbly acknowledge God's grace in your life. Let your gifts and actions not only serve you but also others, especially those in need. Live with faith, and seek to be invited to the Lord's banquet through humble service and love.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
