As we approach the end of the Church's Year we meditate on Our Lord's words from today's Gospel,"Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away."
These words are for all, for every human being that will walk the face of the earth. Because God's message is divine it cannot be limited to constraints of place and time. The instructions and teachings of Our Lord are 'modern' and 'up to date.'
We must never turn the pages of Sacred Scripture as if it were any old book.

"When you open the Holy Gospel, think of what is written there - the words and deeds of Christ - it is something that you should not only know, but live. Take up the Gospel every day, then, and read it and live it as a definite rule. This is what the Saints have done." (St Josemaría Escrivá - The Forge.)

Thank you for reminding us that to read the Holy Gospel is to 'live it'.
These words will encourage me to do my duty with joy and gratitude.
