Reflection: Serving One Master

Today’s reflection centered on Jesus’ words to His disciples: “Do not worry about what you will eat or drink” and “You cannot serve both God and mammon.” These words hit deep. All week, the Gospel readings have been challenging, but also profoundly necessary.

So often, we say we love God, yet our hearts are tied to the things of the world. We chase after success, wealth, approval, things that can never fully satisfy. Jesus reminds us that it’s impossible to truly serve two masters. We must make a choice.

Even in our families and private lives, we see how split loyalties can lead to confusion and pain. How much more, then, when our hearts are divided between God and the world?

We must return to our center, putting God first, above all else. He is the reason we are here. Every breath, every opportunity, every moment is a gift of His grace. And no matter what we face, uncertainty, lack, suffering, He is faithful. He is with us.

Let us trust Him more. Let us love Him wholly.

God bless you.

I remain your pal,
