The Lord will never reject His people. The saints He blesses and strengthens to continue the journey and be sources of inspiration. The sinners He equally welcomes (Mk. 2:13-17), and grants grace for ongoing repentance and transformation. The Lord truly desires our company for eternity. Do we have that same desire, and do we hunger for holiness?
Lord Jesus, You welcome us at Your table no matter the state or status of our lives. Help us to embrace the grace You constantly offer, so that we can recognize our true worth and do all that we can to conform our lives to Your word, which leads to eternal life with You. Amen.
Blessings,
Fr. Howie
