What are you procrastinating about?

God gives the grace.We just have to cooperate.
Maybe today is the day to stop waiting and start living the life God is calling you to.

Can You Drink the Chalice? | Rise Up Day 15

Welcome to Rise Up – Day 15.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus asks James and John a powerful question:
“Can you drink the chalice that I will drink?”
At the time, they had no idea what He meant.
But that chalice would become the chalice of the Mass—the sacrifice of Christ poured out for the salvation of the world.
Every time we attend Mass, we are invited to enter into that same mystery:the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The question remains for us today:
Can we drink the chalice?
Watch today’s reflection and allow the Lord to draw you deeper into the mystery of the Eucharist.

Do Your Socks Match? | Rise Up – Day 14

Do your socks match?
I know a young adult who intentionally wears mismatched socks.
Why?
He’s training himself in humility.
He wants to learn how to handle ridicule and small humiliations — because he knows bigger ones will come.
In today’s Gospel we hear:
“Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
Most of us run from humiliation.We hide from it.We avoid it.
But what if small moments of humility are training for sainthood?

How Big Is Your Measuring Cup? | Rise Up – Day 13

How big is your measuring cup?
Jesus says:“The measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.”
What’s your measuring cup when it comes to generosity?Gratitude?Encouragement?
You can’t out-give God.
When you are generous, blessings overflow — packed down, shaken together, and running over.
This isn’t prosperity gospel.It’s simply the truth of the Gospel.
Today, make your measuring cup bigger.
Be generous.Be kind.Build people up.
And get ready… it’s going to overflow.

Who Will You Greet Today? | Rise Up Day 11

“If you greet your brothers and sisters only, what is unusual about that?”
Today Jesus challenges us to step outside our comfort zones.
Don’t just greet your friends.Don’t just love the people who are easy to love.
Go out and greet people today.Look them in the eye.Preach the Gospel — and if necessary, use words.
Let’s change the world one person at a time.

When Was the Last Time You Went to Confession? | Rise Up Day 10

When was the last time you went to confession?
 
In today’s Gospel, Jesus makes something very clear: before we approach the altar, we are called to reconciliation. Confession and the Eucharist belong together.
 
Lent is the perfect time to reflect, repent, and return to the Lord.
 
It’s okay to go to Mass and not receive Holy Communion — but let’s not stay away from confession.
 
Let’s make Lent amazing by repenting of our sins.

Are You Just Believing… or Actually Doing? | Rise Up – Day 9

Are you a do-gooder?
 
Jesus tells us:
“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.”
 
It’s easy to say we believe.
But belief without action isn’t what Jesus asked for.
 
Our faith demands a response.
Scripture demands a response.
Jesus demands a response.
 
Rise Up – Day 9 challenges us to stop just saying we believe… and start living it.
 
Happy Lent.

Stop Waiting for a Sign | Rise Up – Day 8

Rise Up – Day 8
Are you waiting for a sign?
In today’s reflection, Father Meyer reminds us that our faith isn’t built on symbols, myths, or vague spiritual feelings. Jesus is not just a sign — He is real.
He lived.He died.He rose again.
This Lenten season is an invitation to open our eyes to the reality in front of us — the reality of Christ, the people around us, and the grace present in this very moment.
Lord, open my eyes.
Watch today’s reflection and share it with someone who might be waiting for a sign.

You Can’t Be Forgiven If You Won’t Forgive | Rise Up – Day 7

Instant gratification feels good…
but forgiveness sets you free.
 
In today’s Rise Up reflection, we face one of the hardest questions of Lent:
 
Who do you need to forgive?
 
Jesus tells us clearly:
“If you forgive others… your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive… neither will your Father forgive you.”
 
We can’t receive mercy while refusing to give it.
 
Let today be a day of freedom.
Let the bitterness go.
Let the anger go.
Forgive those who have hurt you.
 
Rise Up is a 90-day daily Gospel reflection for Lent and Easter focused on focus, friends, and fellowship.
