Satisfied on a Saturday (We must decrease so that Christ will increase.) That being said it is very easy to see that the chief priest and the Pharisees had no intention in ever letting that happen, and as we know it did not!!! The same however must be done in our own Spiritual lives today. We are too busy with to many choices and our interest and activities can change and often do with whatever direction the wind blows. Until it comes to the point of having too much is still never enough. People claim and say: We need this service and that service and they want the private prayer time with God. Then it is offered and once the novelty of it wears away they soon start to stay away themselves. Until it comes to the stage where they no longer desire it anymore. Until we take the initiative to make it all about God and not about ourselves we will never have the decrease and increase mentality in not only in our minds but in our hearts as well. Unless we begin to show our children how and where to pray and why they will not learn it on their own. The World will not teach them that but they will teach them everything else that will take that away from them. As Holy Week begin, lets make it all about Him. And remember that what He did He did for all of us. Peace my Friends and enjoy the day. DT Gospel JN 11:45-56 Many of the Jews who had come to Mary and seen what Jesus had done began to believe in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we going to do? This man is performing many signs. If we leave him alone, all will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our land and our nation.” But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing, nor do you consider that it is better for you that one man should die instead of the people, so that the whole nation may not perish.” He did not say this on his own, but since he was high priest for that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, and not only for the nation, but also to gather into one the dispersed children of God. So from that day on they planned to kill him. So Jesus no longer walked about in public among the Jews, but he left for the region near the desert, to a town called Ephraim, and there he remained with his disciples. Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before Passover to purify themselves. They looked for Jesus and said to one another as they were in the temple area, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?”
