house on rock

“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.” (MT 7: 24-25)

What is my rock? Or Who is my rock? How have I built my relationship with my spouse? Is it really based on a realistic vision—‘built solidly on rock”–or maybe still some idealistic visions try to come to me? Building our relationships “on rock” doesn’t mean we will have perfect and easy lives; it means our relationship will be protected and able to grow.

“Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him and we will come to him.” (Gospel Acclamation)
