will have to put a good foundation to building ... Do not think that now I've been building and I'm sharing the problems I may submit as built. Well, maybe, all things considered I am dedicated itself to building, because ultimately it is the task I have also perform as a priest when I help others to live his faith and his encounter with the Lord. And of course, have to worry that we have a solid foundation for our faith and our Christian life.
today is what we are asking Jesus in the Gospel when he speaks of a wise man who built his building on rock, or the fool who builds on sand. It will be prudent and wise man who hears the word of Jesus and the place of truth as the foundation of your life, planted in the depths of the self so that our life will not collapse with any adversity and also as a good plant, arrive to bear good fruit . "He who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice ' us says Jesus.
not enough for us to say 'Lord, Lord, Jesus teaches us today . We say it is that I am a very religious person and never leaves my prayers is not enough to say that I am Christian life ... we are not worth the words of protest saying that we like the nice words that more or we can say, but this faith we say we have, the religiosity of our lives have to be translated into deeds, in what we do, how we live and act in the proposals I go to face different problems we are appearing in life. 'Whoever does the will the Father ... that puts them into practice ... ' Jesus comes to say.
God's Word we hear not only that we love in our ears when we hear it, or to admire the literary beauty that may have even biblical texts proclaim. The Word must become life in us, planted in our lives and make fruitful. It is an ornament like us to enhance our image as if it were a beautiful garment, but a life to live feeling truly engaged and transformed by it.
'I know the rock of my refuge, Lord' , we asked in the psalm. 'A bulwark' give me strength and assurance. As Jesus said in his parable when the house is properly seated on the rock may come all the brunt of the storms that will not go down because it has a good foundation, foundation. It's what we need, because for many reasons or reasons not always easy to keep our faith and our faithfulness to meet all adversity or problems facing we have to go in life. Do we have it strengthened the foundations of our faith?
be from within ourselves where outbreaks often temptation in uncontrolled passions, attitudes and self-pride that we corrode the heart, bad bad feelings or desires with which we react on many occasions. This is when does the strength of our faith.
Our strength we have in the Lord. Not only that good because I control myself so that I have willpower and I'll arrange things to live life righteously. Often the temptation is strong because the Evil One wants to drag us into sin and does many things to deceive us by telling us that this is not so bad, that our pride we have, that we need not always be controlling our feelings but let them run. And we fall on the slope and we will be buffeted by temptation and sin. So we find our strength in the Lord and that is the true Rock of salvation in my life I have to anclarme strongly, as the ship to anchor firmly seated on the seabed will face all the storms without going bust.
But the problems are also emerging in the struggle of every day in our own survival or our coexistence with others, whether in the family, workplace or where we shared many moments of our living. There are setbacks that appear to us in life, difficult situations in which they often do not know what to do. Sometimes we find headwinds from a side that will make us world war which may extend to the chase.
The struggle we have to do in building the Kingdom of God, trying to embrace all the values \u200b\u200bof the Kingdom in our world is not easy because we will meet face to others who want to impose their values \u200b\u200bshall to that sense Christian life we \u200b\u200bhave. We know how you want to delete all religious symbols or reduce the purely private sphere or banish everything that carries the flavor of Christian.
and face all those situations we are not always easy to do from the strength and the light that God will giving back in the depths of our hearts and in the Word we hear and which illuminates our life to know at all times act honestly and with love.
For a Christian, a true believer, must be always present the Word of God who enlightens us and guides us. 'Meteos these words of mine in the heart and soul, bind them to the wrist as a sign, place them on the forehead signal ... Ye shall do all of the commands and decrees which I promulgated today' . So the Lord told Moses to the people of Israel. Taking it so seriously that it wanted to comply to the letter, hence the phylacteries and other signals that most Orthodox Jews, strict wore wrist cuffs or rolled to his forehead. We will all have seen more than once those images.
But they are outward signs of this type that we should wear, but it stuck in our hearts and our souls to God's Word. externally should reflect in our attitudes and our behaviors, while the bold proclamation of our faith. What are then these words of Deuteronomy? That means not forgetting the commandment the Lord continually examine our lives in light of the Word of God, let us question then react. How should we have constantly to hand the Bible, the Gospels to be our food in the daily reading and meditation continuously. How would they know to take our prayer that the Word tells us to ruminate Breast and again in the presence of the Lord and so feel its light and its strength as real food and strength of our life.
Say, yes, a solid foundation for building our faith and our Christian life always relying on the word of God.
