"Why do you call me Lord, Lord and not do what I say?" Jesus is desperately trying to impress on our minds what is expected of us: not long hours of prayer but doing what is really necessary and urgent. Listening attentively to his voice, we are bound to hear the needs of those around us, family members, neighbours, people who call on us. By the time we attend to our daily calls for help, guidance etc. we may not have all the time for long hours of prayer, which we think should be our priority! When God took the trouble to come down to earth to share our lives, he left us the example of his life to follow: feeding the hungry, looking for the lost, receiving the sick and pardoning all.

He was always welcoming in every way. We preach the Gospel more by our way of living and loving than by our words. "Preach the Gospel at all times, if necessary, use words,"( St. Francis of Assisi).
