How to adore God

Saturday of week 2 in Ordinary Time

Mark 3:20-21

David grieved over the untimely death of Saul and his son, Jonathan, who was also his best friend.  It shows his respect to the anointed king.

In the Gospel, Jesus was so busy doing the Father's will that they weren't able to eat.  Worse, Jesus' was labeled "Beelzebub", the prince of demons.

Christian life demands that we render to God and neighbor what is due them: to God, adoration; to neighbors, justice and compassion.   This is what David grieved for Saul and Jonathan.  And to God?  Not putting his name in vain.

What is demanded of us as we adore God?

First, whole and undivided attention.  We need to see the world and life as God sees.

Second, the purest of heart to serve others.  We cannot go on through life exempting ourselves from the world of holiness.  It's simply God's world.

Third, to love as God loves.  The most concrete way to adore God is to love whom he loves - our neighbor including our enemies, the least, the last, and the lost.
