I was planning to focus on one of today's Mass readings, but they all flow together so beautifully. The readings are from
Isaiah 58:1-9a, Psalm 59, and Matthew 19:14-15. Each of them talks about how we are to fast and repent. It's not about giving up "things" so much as having a heart that is contrite (remorseful, penitent) and a humble attitude.
But the thing that just popped out to me is the verse before the Gospel, from Amos 5:14:
"Seek good and not evil so that you may live, and the Lord will be with you."
That pretty much sums up the whole Christian life, doesn't it?
