You Will Receive a Hundred Times as Much Now and Eternal Life In the Age to Come - 26 May 2026
from Making Friends With The Lord Jesus · host Fr. Edwin
In this reflection, I commemorate the thirty-fifth anniversary of my ordination by discussing the spiritual necessity of detachment. It emphasizes that every person is created by God with a specific divine purpose, which requires individuals to surrender earthly comforts and distractions to follow Christ fully. By drawing on scriptural promises in the Gospel of Mark, I explain that those who sacrifice for their faith are promised an abundant reward in both this life and the next. This transition from self-centeredness to divine service enables believers to experience true love and joy as they navigate earthly trials. Ultimately, I encourage you to persevere in your vocations, trusting that the unimaginable rewards prepared by God make every sacrifice worthwhile.
