Then we can attach ourselves to Jesus and God's will.Barbara Schoenebergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951360211636509133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608676180400521343.post-24470822151323962612011-07-28T08:18:34.205-04:002011-07-28T08:18:34.205-04:00Thank you Karinann, Noreen, Daily Grace and Mary.

In America, we are blessed with so much (not all of us of course), more than we need, and we try and help the hungry and the poor. But I wonder, is it a superficial way of helping? If it's not really costing us anything? <br /><br />Sister Briege McKenna wrote "God made the world with enough food to feed everyone, but it is the greed of the rich nations that denies the food to the poor." I'm paraphrasing a bit but it was a startling reminder that our world shouldn't have starving people if God provided for us all. I am familiar with Fr. Paul Wharton's website but haven't been there in awhile. I'll have to go check it out today. God bless!noreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512311149461187879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608676180400521343.post-31982176626634976182011-07-27T08:38:33.298-04:002011-07-27T08:38:33.298-04:00Great lesson.

I have also come to realize that it is not only possessions or money that God asks us to give up to follow Him, but also certain relationships, situations and behaviors as well. I often see people, some in my own family sadly, that will not follow Christ because of what they might have to change or give up. If they only knew what they were missing. Jesus is worth possessing and being possessed by; He is the Pearl of great price.<br />Thanks Fr. Wharton for the story and thank you Victor for sharing it here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124468084334204166noreply@blogger.com
