February 13, 2022: 6th Sunday in Ordinary (Ordinal) Time

God promises us not necessarily an easy life, but a blessed life with the assurance that comes from being grounded in Him.

While the world might indicate that we can get by okay without God, drawing on our own strengths, we're missing out on the great Source.

No matter what kinds of troubles we face, we have reason to rejoice when we grow more deeply in relationship with God, drawing upon Him so that we can live the abundant Life.  Indeed, we shall truly flourish even in difficulties.  By centering ourselves on God, we draw on the great Power of God that enables us to live a meaningful life no matter what hardships we face and be part of advancing the Kingdom by serving those who are in need.  God truly works His great reversal in our lives as we, in our poverty, turn to be filled by Him.

Indeed, this reality of faith is ours because Christ has risen from the dead, which means we, too, shall rise, as we experience now already, living in newness of Life with great purpose.

On this World Marriage Day, we rejoice that God makes Himself known through married couples who live out God's love in their marriage covenants, drawing from the source to live with purpose in blessing others, their children and beyond.
