One of the fastest, but not easiest way to become holy is to get married and start a family.  Why?  Being married and having children requires forgetting oneself and thinking first of his/her spouse and children.  Jesus today tells us that a grain of wheat must die in order to produce many fruits.  May the gospel inspire us to be less self-centered.  Based on the readings of Jeremiah 31: 31-34; Hebrews 5: 70; John 12: 20-33.
