FEAST OF ST. LAWRENCE
Wednesday within the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time: Year C
Feast of St. Lawrence
John 12:24–26
“Those who love their life lose it”
The purpose of life is not to live but to give life for others. There is something wrong in us if we live just to acquire possessions, attain status, achieve success and experience happiness. Our life is all about loving and serving God. “Whoever serves me, the Father will honour." I remember a famous preacher Rick Warren said: “Without God life has no purpose, and without purpose life has no meaning, without meaning life has no significance.”
My friends, today’s gospel teaches us the following: First, don’t forget to live before you die. The best way to live is to be productive. Secondly, love eternal life more than earthly existence. Third, follow Jesus and finally, be a servant. Desire to serve than to be served.
Blessings
Fr. Jhack
