(St. Paul Miki and Companions, Martyrs)
Brothers and sisters: Through Jesus, let us continually offer God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have; God is pleased by sacrifices of that kind. Heb_13:15-17,20-21
Praise and works, these are the things we do, beloved, to please God. Sometimes those works are difficult. Sometimes they may even seem impossible. But through Jesus and for God, all things are possible. And, you know what, through those difficult sacrifices, God will give us the pleasure of accomplishment and the joy of knowing that we’ve helped others. These are the blessings of living with and for God (and not solely for ourselves)!
