First Friday: Let us entrust ourselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
“Where did the man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?”This is the same question we ask when we fail to recognize the power of God in our daily life. This is the same question we ask when we think that God has nothing to do with what happens in our life. This is the same question we ask when we hesitate to entrust everything to God. Why is this happening? This is happening because we fail to see the hand of God. This is happening because we want to see God in the way we want. This is happening because we don’t want to see God in the way God wants to reveal to us. This happens because of our prejudices. This is happening because of our judgmental nature. This is because we are adamant. This is where even God is helpless. “and he did not work many miracles there because of their lack of faith”. God has given us freedom but if we close ourselves to the grace of God using our freedom, our prejudices, our adamant behavior, even God is helpless in doing something. Be open to God without frameworks. Let’s reflect: Do I close myself to the grace of God with my prejudices?
