Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Faith and Living”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed to His disciples, “Anyone who listens to My Words and acts on them, is a sensible man who builds his house on rock.” Ponder on, “Do we love Jesus through our daily living? Is our love for Him a sacrificial love: that forgives, shares with generosity, and discerns with humility.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 7:21, 24-27
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘It is not anyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” who will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the person who does the will of my Father in heaven.
‘Therefore, everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on rock. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and hurled themselves against that house, and it did not fall: it was founded on rock. But everyone who listens to these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand. Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and struck that house, and it fell; and what a fall it had!’
