Word of Life

12-09-2018Weekly ReflectionFr. Bing Colasito

“What shall we do? (Lk. 3:10) The coming of the Lord is imminent, so everyone should be ready. In answer to the question of the crowds: John the Baptist says, everyone should do penance for their sins and mend their ways, to be worthy to receive the grace that the Messiah brings. Salvation does not depend on one's ancestry, but by repentance and conversion (v.7-9). This should be manifested in people’s good behavior; the good thing about it is that it applies to everyone. What each person must do depends on his or her present status or position in life.

Are we willing to undergo an interior change, a metanoia, a transformative change of the heart, a spiritual conversion? How do I seek the inner renewal that Jesus offers me every day?

Be in God,
Fr. Bing
