DGeMs- Daily Gospel eMessage

Dear Friend in the Lord,

Sacrificial Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims to His disciples, “unless a wheat grain falls into the earth and dies, it remains only a single grain; but if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.”  Are we willing to “make sacrifices and die to ourselves” so that we can love God and others more wholeheartedly?

  Fr Philip Heng, S.J.

John 12:24-26

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘In all truth I tell you, unless a wheat grain falls into the earth and dies, it remains only a single grain; but if it dies it yields a rich harvest.

‘Anyone who loves his life loses it; anyone who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me, must follow me, and my servant will be with me wherever I am. If anyone serves me, my Father will honour him.’
