    While St. Paul says to "bear your share of hardship for the gospel", he doesn't say that we should do so on our own power or by ourselves. He said it should be done "with the strength that comes from God." One of those strengths come to us through the help of the angels.

    Items on clearance are there for a number of reasons: some are about to expire, others have been opened, and others have parts missing. While these can be good bargains, some of us may feel like we belong on clearance, not good enough for anything else. Jesus, however, demonstrates that He desires to bring us whole again.

    Jesus said that people would know that we are His disciples if we have love. Yet, the Gospel reading today, Jesus clearly states that whoever wishes to come after Him must hate his father and mother, brother and sister, and a whole host of other close people in our lives! What's going on?

    Even though we can't prepare for everything, we can have a plan in place and be aware of certain principles to make us prepared for an intruder invading our home. It's how we can keep ourselves and our family safe. The same with the Christian life... except we are preparing for the coming of the King! A mixture of spontaneity and planning is required in living the Christian life. We have to have the openness that comes to listening to the Holy Spirit but also follow Jesus on the right path with what He's already entrusted to us as tools to grow in holiness.

    As trust is vital to winning, so is trust vital in our relationship with God. This is a vulnerable-based trust that is rooted in humility and recognizes that none of us have it all figured out. This is why the Church exists, this is why the Mystical Body of Christ exists.

    Motivation is a powerful tool, but before Jesus sends out the seventy-two ahead of him to carry out a mission, He tells them that He is sending them like lambs among wolves! Wait, what?

    St. Paul says that we are free! But this freedom is not something that is rooted in the flesh. It has, as its aim, the highest good: God. With this love, we are called to love one another.

    Jesus revealed that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Through this divine revelation, we can come to know God better, and in knowing Him better, we know what will lead us to a greater sense of fulfillment. Living in His love is challenging but is purifying our hearts to the depths of how God loves us. It prepares us for Heaven.
