My brothers and sisters, let us always participate prayerfully and actively in the celebration of the Eucharist because true and authentic participation in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, identifies us with Jesus’s Heart, sustains our strength along the pilgrimage of this life, makes us long for eternal life, and unites us even now to the Church in heaven, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the saints.
If you want to be a true disciple of Christ today, detach yourself from the world or things of the world; carry and bear your cross daily then totally dedicate and commit yourself to God by being loyal to Him and by following Him.
So like the Letter to the Hebrews tells us today, let us not abandon the struggle we face in being disciples of Christ in the world today, but let us persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, our leader and the perfecter of our faith who endured the cross and despised its shame so as to take His seat at the right of the throne of God for our redemption and salvation.
