7/23 First Reading

              In today’s First Reading (Jeremiah 2:1-3, 7-8, 12-13), God speaks through the prophet words of chastisement, as the people have ceased in seeking Him.  “The prophets prophesied by Baal, and went after useless idols.”

                I have found that these verses helped me reflect on my own life, and using them as a means to examine my conscience.  Have I stopped relying on and trusting in God?  What idols are distracting me from the fullness of life in Him?

                Now is the time for reconversion, renewing our relationship with God.  Now is the time!
