God asks us to surrender attachments so we can discover true freedom in Him. === Sunday, September 7, 2025 - The Divine Guidance: The Cost of Following Christ Reflection: What are the attachments or fears we need to lay at the feet of Jesus so we can follow Him more freely? Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for this Sunday’s reminder that our days are few and precious. Teach us to seek Your wisdom above our own understanding and to make choices that honor You. Help us to love others as brothers and sisters, even when it is costly or inconvenient. Give us courage to carry our crosses and strength to let go of what keeps us from Your Kingdom. Make our hearts ready for the journey of true discipleship. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen. === Disclaimer: This video contains original reflections and commentary on the Catholic daily readings, produced by The Word Today TV.
