Moving out
June 27, 2007
I have been moving out of my office and what a pain. Things can really weigh a person down. I need to find a way to live more simply. While moving I am remebering Luke 22:35-37:
Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered. He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”I know, Jesus was talking to those who were going out to be missionaries, and I am a diocesan priest, who lives and works in a set community. Yet, do I need to dowgrade to let Jesus more into my life? Am I filling my life with stuff instead of letting Jesus be my fulfillment.
