How would you like to be remembered?

Two things to reflect upon about the Gospel of our Lord Jesus from Luke 6: 12-16 "12 Now it happened in those days that He went onto the mountain to pray; and He spent the whole night in prayer to God. 13 When day came He summoned His disciples and picked out twelve of them; He called them 'apostles': 14 Simon whom he called Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15 Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon called the Zealot, 16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot who became a traitor." First, it is imperative that whenever we are to make a major decision in life, we must embark in prayer, not exactly in a mountain like our Lord, but could be in front of our mini altars in our own rooms. It is important to consult our God for a decision that could mean our lives. Second, our names will be remembered by the actuations we make in the course of our lives. For example: Natividad Caraos, beloved mother; Benedict of Nursia, patron saint of Europe; Karol Jozef Wojtyla, Pope of the new millennium. As was written in Isaiah: "I have called you by name, you are mine." In the Gospel, there was one apostle who will forever be remembered as a traitor because he betrayed our Lord. By what mark would you like your inscription be?
