I’m glad you asked.

My second favorite question what Jesus asks the Apostles in Mk 8:27, “Who do people say that I am?” This question will determine what religion a person follows.

Lastly, Jn 18:38, the question that Pilate ask Jesus at the trial, “What is truth?” I have a hard time with this question. Relativism seems to creep into my answer when I know it is black and white. To be honest, I don’t ever recall Jesus ever answering a question beginning with the word “depends”.

The unfortunate thing is the cares of the world blinds us. Thanks Joe for sharing your life. I run too. We don’t have snow here in the Philippines but our faith is glistening with the intensity – at least if you see our churches overflowing on Sundays. Your light shines bright because you have chosen to share it to others! To help them find their way. To God.

You do make a difference every time you publish one of your reflections. You help your readers get a deeper meaning from the daily mass readings. Therefore you help improve our personal relationships with our Heavenly Father and our savior Jesus Christ.

You really use your god given talents for the benefit of your fellow man.

Mark – thanks for the comment and thoughts. Curious, what are the other 2 questions on your list?

I may have passed many by but going forward, I just don’t know. Cardinal Newman wrote a wonderful prayer that I do look back on from time to time over the years, the prayer is “God’s plan for me”. You ever read it?
If you think time flies by fast now, see how fast it flies by 15 to 20 years from now. 40 ain’t nothing! Enjoy 40 while it’s here! ;-).

The question that Jesus and you ask is one of my 3 favorite questions in the Bible, “What are you looking for?”.

Answer that question truthfully will define who you are, your life.
