The Catholic Calendar for Saturday, June 1, 2002 Eighth Week in Ordinary Time St. Justin Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word: Jude 17:20-25 Psalm 63:2-6 Mark 11:27-33 A Reflection on Today's Scripture: My soul is thirsting for you, O God. How often we stumble on the path of true life -- how often we are blind to where true happiness really lies. We fill our lives with distractions and addictions of every kind, thinking that through these things we'll find fulfillment. We even go so far as to compartmentalise our life into the different parts of our selves: our spiritual, our family, our relationships, our financial and career aspirations. But Jesus calls us to bring all these different parts ourselves before Him so that He can teach us the straight path and secure and lead us to the joyful fulfillment of His unique plan for each of us. Our spiritual values need to be at the core of everything we do. If we find conflict in our lives with these values, we need to question our priorities: is God at the centre of all that we do? Or do we sometimes relegate GOD to the lower regions when it suits our immediate needs? Let us beseech the Lord today for the courage and grace to follow His Holy Will, strong in the knowledge that His plan for each of us transcends our wildest dreams and is the path to eternal joy.
