Why do we cling to our mortality and jealously guard our faith? Do we behave as we should as children of God our Father or some elite religious group? Why do we limit ourselves by thanking and praising God with ordinary human thoughts? That is to say we utter what we think our Lord wants to hear.
Let us praise our Lord rejoicing in the Spirit! Let our lives led in holiness be our living testimony to His glory. Let the Word of God be in our hearts and on our lips. And His love we have been given in abundance be shared with all whom we meet. And may almighty God our Father bless us all, in the name of the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit. Amen

As Jesus was speaking, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, ‘Happy the womb that bore you and the breasts you sucked!’ But he replied, ‘Still happier those who hear the word of God and keep it!’
