Don’t travel alone!

Posted on March 16, 2016March 16, 2016 by Fr. Jos+

Take it easy today. Bike a little bit. Play in the park and play chess with someone. They are all fun. Isn’t it? For some yes, of course they are fun. For others, they are no fun at all. See how I saw it differently than you did. But what we can all agree on is this. We all like to eat and enjoy some good food. Eating together is a holy ritual of the healthy and the happy. Make yourself healthy and happy, by not just eating the earthly food, but the heavenly with others. Company makes companions. Keep off the company of others; you will make no companions on the journey. It is that simple. A good journey is always made by those who travel together not alone. So eat with those who will walk with you. Walk with those who eat with you. I call it the appreciation society. This is how communities are built. Communities share the table.

True Religion

What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6: 8 (The New Revised Standard Version)

Right Worship

Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. - John 4: 24 (The Message Bible)

Living Faith

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works?... If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? - James 2: 14-16 (NRSV)
