James 1:17-27 • Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.
Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23 • It is from within a person is defiled.
On this Labour Day week end we are reminded that God’s ways are not always our ways. In our daily lives and daily work Jesus reminds us of the importance of living a life of understanding, compassion and peace. And though there are many things in the world that try and distract us from this purpose, our faith in God and the teachings of Jesus help us to be intentional rather than reactionary. When are inner spirit is at peace, what comes from within will help to bring peace to the world. When our inner spirit is hurt, is filled with anger, fear, and distrust, what comes out of our mouths, and through our actions can lead to harm in the world. What helps you to attain and keep your inner peace?
