St. Cyril of Alexandria

When Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side. A scribe approached and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus answered him, "Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head." Another of (his) disciples said to him, "Lord, let me go first and bury my father." But Jesus answered him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead" (Matthew 8: 18-22).

If we know God is asking us to do something we should not put up complaints or excuses. We should just do it. Complaining is weak. Actions are strong.

Lord, I want to do Your Will with joy.
