He himself understood it well
A Word from Fr. Bob Dear Church Family, I was struck by the last sentence of the Gospel which says, “He himself understood it (human nature) well.” We see Jesus challenging all of us to have right attitudes toward putting the Lord first and His worship pure without a bunch of money matter things […]
