Gospel Reflection

In today’s Gospel, Matthew 7:21, 24-27, Jesus teaches us about the importance of building our lives on a solid foundation, which is listening to and putting into practice his words. “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
