Work is Worship, So work well to Enter Jesus’ Rest

“Come to me all who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest.” (Mat. 11:28)

When we are fulfilling our duties we are not just doing our duties alone but rather we are worshipping our Lord. Here I would like to bring your attention to a famous quote “work is worship.”

Yes, if we are working sincerely, then it is turning out to be worship. Remember what the Lord has said to those who are working. He said “Come to me all who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens” (Mat- 11;28). The second clause is more important as it tells about what Jesus will give them. Jesus continue to say “and I will give you rest.” (Mat. 11:28)

How can we then enter the rest that Christ will offer? It is only when we work hard. And you know well that working involves a lot of responsibility and it’s our duty to work in honor of our Heavenly Father.

Participation in Sunday Mass and the Aspect of Fulfilling the Third Commandment

What would have been in God’s mind when He gave the third commandment that is “My Day shall be held holy? In another circumstance we command  his people not to do any work on the Seventh Day, ie. Sabbath day. Who knows or in fact who cares at all? Anyway now we are not concerned about those Ten Commandments which God gave to the People of Israel through Moses. We – the new generation guys feel that it took place in the ancient age (Old Testament time).

What is our concern? Why we need to think about or obey those old commandments? For us everything is Jesus and his Two Commandments; the first being the Love of God and the second Love for others. We say that these two are important and we need to take care of only these two.

Proclamation of the Word, an inevitable responsibility of all real Christians

It was nearly two months back that I started my blog Holify with the help of  Blogger, starting with a Holy Verse from the Bible. The verse posted was nothing other than this. "As you go, proclaim the Good News, 'The Kingdom of heaven has come near.' (Mt: 10: 7).

It was one of the most touching words for me. I believe that being a Christian is thus a call to be preachers or missionaries as it is said that you are to proclaim the message while 'you are on the go'. It does not need any preparation but prayer to the Holy Spirit whom God has given to us as a helper.
