Knocked off your horse.

Lectionary: 277
Reading 1
Responsorial Psalm
Gospel


Paul must have been riding pretty high on that horse when Jesus knocked him off. Ever have days like that? You're thinking how proud you are of  yourself and what a together mom you are and out of nowhere your little one throws a hugemongous tantrum in the grocery store,  your teenager mouths off to you in front of people and you are rejected as unfit to parent an adopted dog.  Humility usually comes when we think we need it least. 
One more thing: Many people like Ananias, had doubts  about Paul. After all, they knew what his past was like. Paul just goes to prove that imperfect people can do perfect things in Christ's name. A few high-horses in your past? Let it go. Focus on what God wants you to do today, starting with being the mom He wants you to be.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to stay grounded and keep my vision focused firmly on you! St. Paul, pray for me. Amen.
