Ever scrutinized your Ego? A dictionary definition of EGO: Sense of Self differs from Sense of Spirit or what The Ghost dubbed Everlasting God Offertory. Each has a certain appeal depending upon a person’s mindset. Some circles thrive on physical character; those seeking personal Wealth, Influence, and Stature. Individuals whose inner forces have overcome the Self can gain access to a Spiritual World; this can be Very Positive or Extremely Dangerous. And lastly those who’s Egos are offered to God; these Finance, Operate, and Maintain His Church.

The World needs a bit of Ego from every Harry, Mary, and Chi in order to grow its Selfie; God needs YOU! Jesus wants Body, Mind, and Soul to center itself in God the Father, His Church, and all its Surroundings. Our Lord’s Selfie exists from Birth and Aches to become peoples Bread and Wine. Bread and Wine are Fruit of this earth and work of human hands that are nourished by Sun, Earth, and Water. Together Christians become a River of Life when parishioners share their Offertory of Bread and Wine to Christ.

“When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.” And he came down quickly and received him with joy. When they all saw this, they began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner.”

But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone I shall repay it four times over.” And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham. ‘For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.” (Luke 19:5-10 NABRE)
