What is truly a priority in our lives? The call of Christ, to which we responded through our baptism, does not simply ask us to add the pursuit of the Kingdom of Heaven to our list of priorities. It asks that this pursuit become the priority from which all other things are evaluated. This does not mean irresponsibly abandoning our duties. It simply means that we must no longer allow our occupations, even legitimate ones, to take the place of God.
We are in the midst of this battle, but we must make our choice. Will we listen to the angel of God or to the demon who rebelled against Him? Who do we usually listen to? It is a relentless battle. The angel cannot force us to do what is right; we must choose. However, we can become aware of his presence, speak to him, and listen to him. We can make his mission easier by doing what he inspires us to do.
« Perhaps there is a situation in your life today that you do not understand. You may be asking yourself: “Why is this happening to me? When will it change? Why is God allowing me to go through this waiting period?” The Word invites us not to lose hope. The season we are going through is not our whole story. »
