For my sake and for the sake of the Gospel

“Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come. But many that are first will be last, and the last will be first.” (MK 10: 29-31)

All our activities are for something—sports for being healthy, work for growing and for a salary, vacations for rest, retreats for a better relationship with God, and Programs for a better relationship with our spouse. But we should never forget about the final reason for all our activities—“for His sake and for the sake of the Gospel.”

“Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.”
