Monday after Epiphany

The discerning heart

Mt. 4, 12-17, 23-25

As we prepare to shift from Christmas to ordinary time, we prepare for the renewal of our baptism.  The Christmas decors may be kept but real Christmas is flowing in our hearts.

The best way for Christmas to remain in our hearts is orient it to the discerning heart of Mary, "pondering all these things in her heart."

What makes a discerning heart?  First orient that heart to Christ.

Second, you will know in the heart which ones belong to Christ and which ones do not.  Test the Spirit; learn its fruits like the fruits harvested by Jesus - goodness and healing everywhere.

Third, orient that heart to follow Christ and offer everything to him.
