We are cautioned in this Gospel to be more than mere acquaintances with Jesus. We are challenged to have a deep and loving relationship with Him. What’s the difference between the two? We are probably best at answering that question ourselves, but perhaps we attend Mass every week to fulfill an obligation. That might be acting like an acquaintance where as participating in that Mass, gathering with other worshippers afterwards, or participating in scripture study, service, or enrichment offerings of the parish would definitely deepen that relationship.
Adults: What are you doing to strengthen your relationship with Jesus?
Children: How can you become better friends with Jesus?
