Practical Tip Of The Day:
Pride. We all have it and often do not recognize it. Find a community of men that will tell you from a place of love the truth when you are pride-filled. As an example, a men's bible study group. The Cursillo community. Men who share Jesus as their greatest common factor. They will love you the best from a place of truth.

Today's Readings
Liturgical reflection:
How many things do we believe in? It seems like there are fewer and fewer bedrock institutions, ideas and concepts that are believable.
On many levels, sociological, physical, the economy, politically and philosophically, there seems to be constant equivocation, where everything stands for nothing, as everything's supposed nature changes on a daily basis. Man continually spins new stories around the meaning of life and all its happenings. But are they truthful?
But Jesus, the son of man, quite simply says 'believe' in Him and miracles will happen. And haven't they? Don't they happen when we believe?
Not only can your faith heal physical maladies as Jesus heals the faith-filled blind men, but also the spiritual ones.
Today, pray to Jesus for a contemplative fulfillment and healing that He brings.
Amen.

Practical Tip Of The Day:
Say 'Jesus I trust in you' throughout each moment of today. Reflect this evening on how reciting Jesus' name had an effect on your day.

Have we been saved?
Liturgical reflection:
Catholics and many of their Protestant brothers and sisters pray with and study the life of Jesus Christ. And sometimes we have a tendency to relax our love for Him, as we believe that if we believe that Jesus is who he proclaimed to be, that we will be 'saved' and guaranteed a spot in heaven. Maybe our belief in Jesus might make us feel somehow comfortably 'saved.'
But Jesus suggests a true belief in Him, a divine man who is the world's true disrupter, is much more than proclaiming oneself 'saved.' No, we cannot just say 'Lord, Lord,' and expect entrance into Heaven. We actually have to do His will, 'the will of the Father.'
A kingdom of heaven on earth not only includes a prayer-filled, dynamic, intimate relationship with God, but requires action.
And where should our actions focus? Jesus gives us the answer:
To be 'Blessed' in this life, to be 'happy,' all we need to do is His will:
30
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’j31The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”Mark 12: 30-31
Amen.
