So if you have ever been to a job interview, you may have been asked what is your greatest strength. Your greatest weakness can be your greatest strength. And we can so easily identify ourselves with our strengths and our weaknesses. If you are positive, you most likely identify yourself with your greatest strength. You might identify yourself with your greatest weakness if you are a very negative person. But in the Gospel today, the 12 Apostles are named. And we do not know what their greatest strengths were or what their greatest weaknesses were. Here are the greatest 12 influencers of all of church history.
What mattered and how they influenced the world was that they belonged to Jesus. Your greatest strength can do a lot of good and change things, but belonging to Jesus and being His, can influence the world.

That selfless love bears fruit. But with YOLO, you are living for yourself. You can do what you want whenever you want, but it’s sterile. The second reading today from…

Sacrifice For Jesus
Okay, so in the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus is not trying to be an economist. He’s not concerned about what happens to the S&P 500. He is not worried about how much Bitcoin to give to the poor. Jesus is talking about our sacrificial hearts. In the gospel, the rich provide some of their money, and the poor widow gives all she has. Jesus is not concerned with numbers. He’s concerned with our…
