Today is the first day of the rest of our life

Today’s Parable is to each one of us. Jesus came to this world to save us all. But the rejection is something Jesus could not withstand. The prophets and saint all have the same message for all of us. And it to turn our hearts and minds into the way of the Lord. And even in the first reading we see that the brothers of Joseph were angry with him because their father loved him more than them. And that gives them matter for jealous and they treat him badly.

Lent is an invitation to turn our ways into the ways of the Lord. These forty days are time for us to look into ourselves and change our ways. And not just until the time of Easter, rather for a new way of living from now until our death. Not just in this Lenten time.

Because today is the first day of the rest of our life. So let us change our life and wait to resurrect with the risen Lord.
