About this episode

Sr. Ann reflects on the Gospel readings and the importance of aligning one's life with Christ.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us how anyone who loses their life for His sake will find it, and how anyone who sets aside their own desires and motivations to follow Him will receive their reward. What is the source of your thoughts, words and actions? Is it in Christ? Or is it in the world, the flesh, and the devil? Sr. Ann reflects on today’s readings: Isaiah 1:10-17 Psalm 50:8-9, 16bc-17, 21, 23 Matthew 10:34-11:1 Sr. Ann’s Books Deeper Conversion Extraordinary Grace for Ordinary Times More of the Holy Spirit Captured By Mercy This is a public episode.
