Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 10, 13-16

Jesus said to them,
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!
For if the mighty deeds done in your midst
had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
they would long ago have repented,
sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon
at the judgment than for you.
And as for you, Capernaum, ‘Will you be exalted to heaven?
You will go down to the netherworld.’
Whoever listens to you listens to me.
Whoever rejects you rejects me.
And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”

Woe to you!

1) If they had been done in another city. Think about how many opportunities were and are given to you and yet, you still have not changed. Nobody but you and God know. And you never change, it is as if you were anesthetized in life. Come on, look at yourself honestly, because you should try to seek perfection. Do not remain in mediocrity, I believe in you and many people believe in you. We know you can, but do not do it for me and for those of us who love you, do it for yourself.

2) Whoever listens to you. You are a Christian, you take Jesus to others. I’m not asking you to be pure and immaculate; what you and I must do is bring words of comfort to others. Today, people are sad and tired, they do not find answers. You and I may feel like that as well many times.  But we know that Christ is with us above any circumstance we are going through, we know we live to give life to others.

3) Reject. Today, you have to help those around you. What if you take charge of making life more beautiful for those around you? If they reject you, that is their problem. What can you do to make life better for those around you? Maybe you can smile at someone or not be pessimistic, or serve breakfast, well, I am sure you have more ideas than I do.

God bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And don’t forget Heaven is our goal.
