Yet the least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than [John the Baptist]
REFLECTION. Great is John the Baptist, but a child of God is even greater than he. Worldly pomp and wisdom disappear before the splendor of a redeemed soul. This fact should make me happy – in spite of all sufferings.
PRAYER. Heavenly Father, I give You thanks for the grace of Your Divine filiation. Let my behavior always correspond to this grace.
By accepting Christ into our lives and our hearts, we are throwing away the emptiness that is self-importance. He gave everything for us to have a place in the Kingdom of Heaven with our Creator. Live out your life with the greatest commandment burning in your heart.
“You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:36 – 40
