Remember You Are Dust and to Dust You Will Return | #1513
Episode description
Ordinary Time, 8th Sunday (C) Imagine looking back on your Lent from the perspective of Easter. Is it easier to give up candy now if you remember that Easter candy is coming? In a similar way, how will your life look different from the perspective of eternity? The trials of this life expose what is in our heart. They also give us opportunities to trust God and to love and give and sacrifice. Without God, I am nothing but a small pile of dust. "Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, steadfast, always fully devoted to the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." (1 Cor 15:58)
(2 Mar 2025)
Going Deeper: Consider your Lenten sacrifices as a response to the love God showed you at Christmas and other times in your life. Also, consider your fasting and sacrifices from the vantage point of Easter feasting and eternal life.
