#Catholic Daily Reading from the #Holy #Bible and #Reflection: No Slave is Greater than the Master

Reading 1 Acts 13:13-25
Responsorial Psalms 89:2-3, 21-22, 25 and 27
Gospel John 13:16-20

Excerpts:

John 13:16-17

16
Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him.
17
If you understand this, blessed are you if you do it.

Reflection: God is within us, but we are not Gods. We are only servants, who are to imitate our Lord, Jesus Christ, to the best of our given gifts. Remember, all that we are is because God allowed it. We do nothing without His permission, and though sometimes we do not understand His Will, We can trust He always has his children’s best interest at heart. Everyday, know God is within you and look for Him in everything and everyone around you. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you serve God’s Will. Look for His purpose in everything you do. That way, your mind is always focused on Him, and it will help you stay away from temptation.

–Peace Be With You
