Let God's Grandeur Overtake You

God is the author of all our hobbies; the director of our recreation and guide on our vacations; the maker of your loved ones; the giver of love, joy, and peace. God wants you to delight in these things and know they are His gift to you. But we don't always recognize His sacramental presence in them, whether due to pride, contempt, or fear. To admit to these weaknesses in our lives and surrender them to God, taking them to confession to be healed, leads to a renewed sense of awe and joy.   Readings at this Mass: Ez 2:2–5 | 2 Cor 12:7–10 | Mk 6:1–6a
