Tuesday of the 2nd week of Lent

Develop intimacy with God

Matthew 23:1-12

The second week calls us to a moment of intimacy with the Father.  Anything other than this constitutes sin.

Consider the two options: following and not following Him.  Following him entails life and blessings.  There will be blessings everywhere.  Goodness will abound.  Anything other than these implies death.  It is true.

Jesus in today's gospel warns us against the yeast of the Pharisees, the message being, "The greatest among you must be your servant. Anyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and anyone who humbles himself will be exalted." (Mt. 23, 12)

Anyone who humbles himself while exulting the Lord shall live forever.
