Consecrated to the Lord!

Moses reminds the people of their identity; a people consecrated to the Lord. Consecration designates: 1) the act of offering oneself to the service and glory of God; 2) sanctifying oneself and setting oneself apart for the cause of the Gospel; 3) taking part in what is sacred.

He who is consecrated practices his ordinances and decrees. He clings to the Lord day and night, and the Lord blesses him and shares with him his prosperity and glory. For Jesus in the gospel, happiness comes through love of others, which must go beyond differences. In a world of blind forces of spiritual and visible violence, division and hatred, our Christian love and goodness, our pursuit for peace and holiness can become a powerful signal. Holiness becomes an obligation for all, not a privilege for the few (Mother Theresa of Calcutta).

Lord Jesus, make me a saint
