Daily Inspiration

“Jesus began to reproach the towns where most of his mighty deeds had been done, since they had not repented. "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. And as for you, Capernaum:

Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld.

For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you." -Matthew 11:20-24

My whole life, I saw the miracles of the Lord and yet I ignored them. I was blessed to have heard and read Scripture throughout my life but rarely applied those messages to it. I was a lukewarm Christian and believed that was enough, and Heaven was assured. Then I was hit head-on while driving on a country road and went to spend an eternity in a place that felt like Hell.  When I came back, I realized that Jesus asks each of us the same question He asked Capernaum. Where are our daily actions, faith, and level of love for God and His children leading us?

Saint Camillus, pray for us.
