One Bread, One Body - Reflection for March 6, 2024

FULL OBEDIENCE

"Hear the statutes and decrees which I am teaching you to observe, that you may live, and may enter in and take possession of the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you." –Deuteronomy 4:1

If we are to receive the awesome graces of justice, mercy, and freedom, we must obey the Lord:

Jesus said: "You will live in My love if you keep My commandments, even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and live in His love" (Jn 15:10). Through our love, let us carefully, zealously, and joyfully obey our way into freedom.

PRAYER: Father, send the Holy Spirit to teach me to obey You according to Your standards.
PROMISE: "Whoever breaks the least significant of these commands and teaches others to do so shall be called least in the kingdom of God." –Mt 5:19
PRAISE: Josh, a Bible student, studied Greek to learn the New Testament better. He was shocked to learn that the Greek text of John 6 supported the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. He repented of unbelief, joined the Catholic Church, and received the Bread of Life.
