Saturday it the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time ‘b’

JN 12:24-26

Have you ever wondered how people will remember you here? We shouldn’t be saying bad things about the dead. However, there are some people that we would rather forget and some people that we will always remember. So, which one would you like to be? Of course, we want to be remembered because of the good deeds we have done to others, because of the love that we shared, because we were humble people. Jesus said: “unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.” In the same way, if we die to ourselves – meaning, if we get rid of our own selfish desires but instead share our love with others - we will produce much fruit and we will always be remembered as good people.
