REFLECTION FROM THE DESK OF THE PASTOR

The phrase ‘No turning back”, used in our gospel has no negative meaning but it has a positive implication. We must have God more than others, even more than our parents, family, brothers and sisters. This is a very serious matter.
If we meet a conflict between our loved ones and Christ, what should be our priority, Our family or God? God is not in competition with our family, parents and sisters for our love. He states very clearly, however that God comes first in our lives, nobody and nothing that become His rival. Giving God the first place, on the other hand assures us that we practice true love to all people and give each person his rightful place. Jesus has often taught that our love for neighbor is the real test of our love for God. It is mainly in our caring and serving attitude to our neighbor that we cooperate with God’s plan. Our love for people can never be an excuse to surrender our love for God.
