PASSION OF JOHN THE BAPTIST

Jeremiah 1:17-19; Ps. 71; Mark 6:17-29

Choose God’s way

It’s a common enough scenario: we find ourselves in situations where it would be very easy to pander to the wrong people about the wrong sorts of things. These can be petty – maybe indulging in a moment’s spiteful commentary – or very serious, such as big decisions that can affect many people’s wellbeing. There is a point at which we have to take stock of ourselves and our choices. Are they good? Are they what God wants?

Holy Spirit, may your gift of wisdom guide me to make the right choices to to live a holy life that will lead me to God.
