AFFIRMATION -- ANY ONE?

Saturday in the 2nd Week of Christmas
Mk 1:7-11

Who among us does not need some affirmation every now and then? Being affirmed is one of our basic human needs. Affirmation of our self-worth prods us on to do great things, to stretch our selves to the limit, and bring out the best in us.

In the Gospel today, the Father affirms His Son. God claims Jesus to be His own: “You are My Son, the Beloved; My favor rests on You.” The Father funds Jesus with the affirmation that will supply Jesus with the much needed consolation, inspiration, and determination to accomplish His mission.

Let us affirm one another and provide the support we need to fulfill the mission God entrusted us with in this life. More than Jesus, we are very much in need of affirmation.

By the way, when we affirm one another, let us make sure that we give one another only sincere affirmation. Otherwise, thanks but no thanks.

Father God, thank you for saving us when you send your Son Jesus and affirmed to us that we are also your children and have a place in heaven.

God bless po..
