Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.

God calls on us to repent and believe in His gospel message. This requires us to convert our hearts from the selfishness of worldly things to self-sacrifice of heavenly ones. We are being asked to put aside our childish things and put on Christ. When we do this we become the fulfillment of God's Will on earth. Like the disciples, we are called to set aside our worldly works and follow Christ where he needs us to go.

How do we embody and emanate the belief that the kingdom of God is at hand? What are the worldly things we need to repent of so that we can better believe and live out the gospel? Are we truly willing to sacrifice ourselves for our Heavenly Father's Will?

O Lord, we come to you with repentant hearts. Grant us the faith we need to believe in the gospel and live out its message of love.

Amen.
