Built on Rock!

Today in the gospel, Matthew 7:21,24-27, Jesus tells us to do the will of the Father. We live the will of God by doing this, "Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock." Nothing was able to destroy the house built on rock and the same is true when we build our lives on the rock of Christ. As the daily commentator writes, "All those who listen to Christ's words become rock-solid in their life. Because his Word is life. The Lord himself is an eternal Rock. When we trust him, that is, when we are attentive and obedient to his Word as opposed to our own ideas, feelings, and preconceptions, we are given the 'firm purpose' we crave that keeps us in peace" (Magnificat, 41). During this Advent Season, let us continue to build our lives, our house on solid Rock, who is Christ, and live the will of the Father each day! God Bless You!!!
