11^th Sunday after Pentecost 2023
If we have no attachments to hold us down in this life we will speedily reach Heaven when we die.  Our Lord said we will receive a hundredfold of the things we give up for God’s sake in this life.  We should not attribute anything we do to ourselves because it is God Who gives us all the strength we need.  We recognize the truth when we recognize our utter weakness.  We are the only ones responsible for our sins and if we truly know ourselves, nothing we possess will make us proud.
