Today, the gospel passage invites me to live my life in accordance with the values of the kingdom of God, which will give me inner happiness, rather than living my life by being possessive with the cares and comforts of this world. I should not worry about the worldly things that please me temporarily. For that I need to persevere and be consistent in my prayer, which will help me build my relationship with the Lord. Perseverance and consistency in my prayer life will keep me firm in my spiritual journey.
At early stages of my life, I had a lot of thirst and interest in my prayer life. But as years passed by, my interest for personal prayer dipped and the sad reality was that I was fine with it. I did not realize the need for personal prayer. Through the gospel reading, Jesus reminds me to reflect on my life and see what is preventing me from building my relationship with the Lord. As a religious, not only do I need to pray for myself but also for others.
When I am consistent with my prayers and my spiritual life, I can encourage and assist my brothers and sisters in their spiritual journey.
