2 Timothy 1:1-3, 6-12
Psalm 123:1-2
Mark 12:18-27
Many people seek the Almighty God at great heights of the world, by the use of force and power, knowing that God is great, omnipotent, and demanding. Indeed, God is great! Indeed, God is all-powerful and seeks every man to follow Him in the way He has chosen and provided. A man may climb the highest mountains of this world, search the cosmos without end. On the contrary, we will not find God at the summit of this broken and empty world, which points to the greatness of the Lord, but yet leaves the sentence unfinished, the final period missing, and the man still searching. Many have lost their lives after descending from the windy, icy, and lifeless peaks of the earth. A man may believe that he makes giant leaps into the cosmos, but these are but minuscule achievements if he has sought glory for himself and not glorified God, who can do all things with great ease. Many people seek the Omniscient God through the use of the great mind they have received from the Father of Creation. How intricate and complex are but the tiniest of nature’s processes. Scientific discoveries have opened the mind and given men great intelligence and knowledge of the world around them; in addition, however, their sight has become clouded, being unable to see the beautiful reflection of God’s hand in the world around them. How great are the laws of the Lord! How great is every life that God has placed upon the earth. Yet, man in his worldly wisdom has grown fond of what has been given to him, has taken its beauty for granted and failed to recognize even the smallest and innocent of God’s creatures that move and have life. Many have lost their lives in the land of the living because they have died in their selfishness, rational presumptions, and did not seek the God who exists. The wisdom of men will fail if it is not centered upon God, who is the Source of all knowledge and eternal life. God has fooled the eyes and minds of many because they have lost themselves in great heights, great achievements, complicated theories, and complex words, but have failed to recognize the simplicity of faith, the beauty of humility, and the greatness of love. Do not be ashamed of the God who suffers with greatest of love for the salvation of men; do not doubt in the power and grace the Lord God has ordained upon the hands of simple men to pour down the Spirit of God; do not be afraid to come to the Lord and His Church when the world blasphemes His holy Name, persecutes His Bride, and sends its demons upon many of the good faithful servants of the Lord who stand their ground and live upon the Rock of faith that will not move. God is not found in the greatness of this world but only in the next. And if anyone desires to find the Lord, they go to their inner room, become separated from the rest of the world, and pray to the Lord in the deepest and greatest depths of the heart. The Almighty Lord is found in the poverty of the heart, in those who have been broken by the world and other men, in the sick, weak, and forgotten. The world seeks its own wisdom, but the meek and the lowly have been chosen from this world for the greatness and the glory of the Lord. Christ has destroyed death through the Light of the Gospel and has given you the Church to guide His chosen people to Salvation. Seek not the world or its vanities, but seek to live in the spirit, and be pure like the angels of Heaven. Trust in the Lord at all times and become like a child who listens to His Mother, the Church. Christ becomes our Brother and God our Father when we walk with Him by humility, mercy, love, and with the hand of His Immaculate Mother.
