Each of us is a stone in this spiritual wall. We must be strong stones that will never crumble!

All the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple.

- Ephesians 2:21

We went to church today. We go to mass each week in person on Saturdays usually, the Sabbath I guess! Today we went to Palm Bay to St. Joseph's, we go up there sometimes when we want to go to Bravo or Winn-Dixie Supermarkets since we do not have them here in Sebastian. That church has a new priest. He was very good. Today they were celebrating the Assumption of Mary going into Heaven. She assumed to Heaven because she was sinless like Jesus, He ascended into Heaven, also sinless, He died for our sins, He was a gift from God and we are called to follow Him! We are all stones in this journey, they church, this life, we can be big or small, we just need to be strong not to crumble. Jesus gives us that strength, when we follow Him! When we reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him like we are called to do! He helps us to be good people, it helps others trust us, and see Him in us, which we are called to do as His disciples.

The Mornings With God App today said, "The Church is a magnificent spiritual temple. Christ Himself is the cornerstone. Nothing in this world is built securely unless it rests on Christ. For centuries, believers in Christ have been built into the temple’s walls, which continue to rise. The temple is not yet finished—it won’t be complete until the last believer is added. Each of us is a stone in this spiritual wall. Both large and small stones are used, and the smallest is just as important as the largest. If any stone is missing, there would be an empty space where it should have been. Each of us has our place in this temple. And in turn, we become a foundation for others to build upon. We must ensure that those who trust in us or depend on us are never disappointed. Recently, it was discovered that some stones in a building were breaking. At one spot, a rotten stone had crumbled, causing the stones above it to shrink. We must be strong stones that will never crumble." Found at: https://www.youdevotion.com/mornings/august/15

Are you growing into a holy temple by following Jesus? Imitating and loving like Him! A reflection of Him? Do you love others and have forgiveness in your heart. We are called to be loving, kind, and forgiving. We know this by our faith in Jesus, but other Spiritual sources also suggest this like Qigong. We are called to be disciple for Jesus, bringing others to God, helping them too get to Heaven, like Mary and Jesus did who were sinless. It is hard as humans, but we are called to stop sinning, be holy, follow Jesus, and be like Him and Mary. Mary said yes to God, she accepted being the Holy Mother of Jesus, she said yes without reservation. Will you say yes in following Jesus, and doing what He wants so you will get to Heaven too?
