Reflections for the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time + Is my salvation simply saying that I believe in Jesus and that He is my Lord and Saviour? ++ Jesus is quite clear that salvation requires action on our part and is not just words. Do I live out my faith through daily action such as giving love, compassion and charity to my family and neighbour? +++ Who and what do I focus on each day? God and his Truths or myself and the half-truths? Let us reflect… #COTTyardGR #COTTyardSocials #COTTSG #BibleVerse #Catholic #Catholicism #CatholicChurch #God #GospelReflections #MassReflections #Scripture
