Discipline is the foundation to growth and life. To achieve our goals in life, we need to have the discipline to commit to study and work. To attain spiritual growth, our Lord highlights the discipline of almsgiving, praying and fasting (Mt. 6:1-6; 16-18). Discipline should be viewed as a gift from the Lord that benefits the self, society and the entire world.
Lord Jesus, You give us life and, even more wondrously, You grant us eternal life. May Your grace help us to discipline our lives, so that we who respond to Your word may grow and become the beautiful people that You created us to be. Amen.
Blessings,
Fr. Howie
