Joshua 24:14-29, Matthew 19:13-15

“The only thing that matters”
Jesus continues to call us to be like little children in the sense of being child-like and not childish. To be child-like is to have a simple and trusting faith that leads us to open ourselves to respond to God’s call for a deeper communion with Him. As we enter more into relationship with God, we start to realise that when everything is stripped away, the only thing that matters is Him.

“Commitment is the key”
The message for us in today’s Gospel is: Commitment.

Let us go beyond commitment in marriages to reflect on the different commitments that we have in our life.

Authentic commitment requires us to have true love that stays with a friend, a spouse, a child, a parent during their ‘good times’ and especially in their ‘bad times’.
