Me and my household will serve the Lord

“If it does not please you to serve the LORD, decide today whom you will serve, the gods your fathers served beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose country you are now dwelling. As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” (JOS 24: 15)

Even if the mandate, “decide today whom you will serve,” prompts a decision for someone’s whole life, it also should be repeated every single day. We can “serve the Lord” throughout our vocation as a Catholic husband/wife or as a Catholic parent, worker, friend and citizen.

“Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life; you have the words of everlasting life.” (Gospel Acclamation)
