Tuesday of Holy Week Jesus said: I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The woman who loves her life will lose it, while the woman who hates her life in this world will keep it for eternal life.’ John 12: 23-26 So, to concentrate on one’s own success – is to lose what matters. Love for God must be such that all other loves are, by comparison, hatred. This text speaks to me and my misplaced sense of success. Today I repent of this.
