Magnificat, adapted, 17 Thu July 29: Mt 13, 47-53

   Jesus speaks about separating the good from the bad in our relationship with God.
   God created us to praise, reverence, and serve Him. In doing so we save our soul and help to save others.
   God created all other things on the face of the earth to help us on our way back to Him.
   We must make ourselves indifferent to all created things, provided the matter is subject to our free choice.  
   Thus as far as we are concerned, we should not want health more than illness, wealth more than poverty, a long life more than a short one, and so on.
   Saint Ignatius of Loyola (t 1556) was the founder of the Society of Jesus.
         
   Father, may your word take deep root in our hearts and transform our way of thinking, discerning, and acting, through Christ Jesus our Lord.
