Let Him Pick You Up

 

a

God made us to be with Him eternally. He gives us all the graces we need on this journey back to Him. But He also gave us free will and we can, if we are fools, exercise that free will to reject His offer of eternal life. He stands always ready to forgive and extend His merciful arms toward us. He will never give up on us and remains ever willing, as the good Shepherd He is, to welcome us back into His loving arms. But we must want Him to pick us up.

What Does It Mean To Be Humble?

 

But, Lord, It Is So Difficult

(Image Source- Wikimedia Commons) Jesus warned that sometimes His teachings would bring conflict to those who accepted and lived them (Luke 12: 49-53)…being true to the Gospel means I will have to stand up for what I believe even if it causes division among those with whom I live and work.   Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings.   One Bread, One Body

Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence.  He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence.  Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence.  (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
