How To Pray With Shalom

Index of This Month
 
 

It is through Jesus that we can address God our heavenly Father. It is through Jesus' death that we are saved from our sins and escape God's anger at his coming in judgement. St Peter reminds us that it is through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ that we can share the divine nature. But in order to attain this we must strive to live a life of holiness: to live in accordance with Jesus' teachings, and to walk in the path of the Word. In doing so, we can be transformed totally interiorly and even exteriorly, so that the image of God can be manifested rightly through our identity of being his children.

This is obviously not an easy task for us. But holiness can be achieved with God's grace and become an interior driving force motivating us to follow God's revelation, to live patiently and reverently according to his will, and to serve others wholeheartedly without reservation.

Jesus' parable of the tenants reminds us again that, being God's children, we must steadfastly preserve, safeguard and build his Church. We must not be corrupted or hindered in this duty. Otherwise, we shall end up otherwise like the atrocious tenants paying for what we have done wrongfully.




Lord, help me to strengthen my faith in the Word.
