Gospel Reflection
God loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. But He also gave you the free will to decide, on your own, whether or not to reciprocate His love. We do this by following the example of His Son, Jesus. Everything Jesus did was good and pleasing to God. And because God is good all the time, everything that is good comes from Him. And because everything good comes from God, His will is for us to choose Him above everything else. This is why when Jesus’ disciples asked Him how to pray to the Father, Jesus replied, “Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven…” God already knows what’s best for us, but it is our responsibility to discern that. We must pray that we are able to resist the temptation to sin, which separates us from God. By making the right choice does our will become the Father’s. And it is by the Father’s will that we are saved.
