Serving the Word: Mt 26: 36-42

THURSDAY, JUNE 4

Matthew 26, 36-42:
“Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me, but not as I will, but as you will.”

Jesus once said that it was his will always to do the will of the Father who sent him.
This rule of life brought him many problems and many difficulties.
For it is the Father’s will that every human being, who is his child, should have life and have it to the full.
Jesus fought against everything that was opposed to the full life of mankind.
This led him to die crucified on a cross. But at no time did he fail to do the will of the one who had sent him.
In your life and in mine we also find difficulties in living life to the full.
These are moments when we also have to try to do the Father’s will, even though those moments may be difficult for us.
Ask the Lord today for the strength to always be that faithful child who does their Father’s will.
Good day.
