TODAY’S WORD…

.

For the grace of God has appeared,

bringing salvation to all,

training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions,

and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly,

while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation

of the glory of our great God and Saviour,Jesus Christ.

.

– Titus 2:11-13 (NRSV)

.

REFLECTION…

.

Jesus is our model;

by means of grace He instructs us

on how to control our defects and grow in virtue,

filled with hope.

…..

God moves us inwardly to seek holiness,

and His grace also channels our hope.

…..

As Christians, we are motivated

not only by bringing to mind our Lord’s life on earth,

but also, and especially, by the fact that Jesus is in the glory of heaven even now

and that we are invited to share His inheritance.
