Lent is a serious time.\u00a0We meditate on the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus.\u00a0It is right that we accept Jesus as God the Son.\u00a0Jesus did a lot for us to believe in his mission, and yet we see that many cannot make up their minds.\u00a0That is why he said the words to them: “You know me, and you know where I am from.”\u00a0And I did not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, and you do not know him.\u00a0I know him because I am from him and he sent me” (John 7:28-29).<\/span><\/h2>\n

They heard his sermons and saw the life of Jesus many. <\/span>Accepting his teachings means radically changing your life. <\/span><\/strong>On the other hand, they saw their indifference, and convenience, and did not have the strength to get rid of these weaknesses. They felt fear, so they preferred to settle for a neutral position.\u00a0Yes, a lot is said and thought about God, faith, and Jesus Christ today.\u00a0We see both negative and positive attitudes around us.\u00a0Each side and decision has its reasons. We come to Holy Mass to be strengthened by Jesus’ word and Body in the Eucharist.\u00a0This reminds us of the death on the cross, that is, our redemption, our liberation from sin.\u00a0We come to strengthen our relationship with Jesus, which our Church teaches us about.\u00a0We often realize in our lives that we must not be Christians only in church, or when we pray privately at home.\u00a0Before the shrine, let’s draw strength and resolve to persevere on the way to Jesus.\u00a0Yes, we sometimes feel that it<\/span> is very difficult, and it hurts when we want to follow Jesus whole and whole.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

We know from our own lives that even though this decision was painful and difficult, it was still the right and beautiful decision.\u00a0As a priest, I can say from my own life that I have never regretted my decision to become a priest.\u00a0After all, Jesus said:\u00a0<\/span>“And everyone who leaves houses or brothers and sisters or father and mother or children or fields for my name will receive a hundred times more and will inherit eternal life” (Mt 19:29). Today, after several years of<\/span><\/strong> priesthood I know that the profession of a priest is difficult, but I can say that if I had to decide about my profession again, I would not hesitate for a minute. However, I also know from your life’s journeys that more than one of you had and must make difficult decisions in your faith and Many of you have also become convinced that when you put Jesus’ words into practice in your practical life:\u00a0<\/span>“Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23), that Jesus will not owe anything to his faithful.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

If we have once decided on Jesus, we must not think that it only hurts once in our life. We certainly don’t want Jesus’ words from the Gospel to apply to us: “You know me, and you know where I come from.\u00a0And I did not come of myself, but he who sent me is true…” (John 7:28). We believe that Jesus is our God, eternal Love, who loves us above all. We do not want to be among those about whom John wrote that they wanted to seize him and kill him when Jesus told them who he was and why he had come.<\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
