Today is the Memorial of Saint John Vianney, Priest.
In today's Gospel, people who knew Jesus were "astonished" by his teachings, yet they also "took offense at him." In life, we can receive the same treatment from others, especially from those we know, admire, and even love. They would say things like: "oh, he (or she) would not amount to anything" or "or you kidding me, I didn't think he (or she) would make anything of his (or her) life."
Those types of comments can hurt us, especially when we try to make changes, to do better in life and to become a better person. In those moments, it is important for us to know that we have a loving Father in heaven who is always with us, always supportive of us, and will always encourage us to become who He has made us to be. Our value and identify rest in us being beloved sons and daughters of our Father in heaven, and not by how others and society value us or impose a identity on us.
Therefore, dearest goddaughter, turn to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and know that he will always be at your side, calls you by name, and loves you so much.
Love,
Bỏ Phúc
