We
might say that this little section from the Acts of the Apostles is a practical
example of what Jesus speaks about in John’s Gospel today. Jesus continues to
remind us of how important his relationship is with the Father. He reminds us
that we need to listen for the words of God as they come from Jesus and as they
come from those who the Spirit sends. The Good News comes from God, it is alive
with God’s Spirit, and it is the light that will guide us on our journey of
faith.
The
challenge is always our willingness to hear and see the gift of God in our
life. The challenge is to be open each day to the many ways in which God
becomes present to us. The challenge is to take the Word we hear and the Light
we see and make it known to the world. The challenge is to be the voice and
light of God in our world today!
Daily
Prayer: O God, strength of the
faithful, grace us once again with your light today. Help us to see your
presence around us and within us. Gift us with your Word, a Word that we not
only hear but also proclaim. May we become your light of hope to a world
darkened by terror, tragedy, violence, anger, evil and fear. May we be directed
by your light of life today and in the living of life always praise you! Amen!
Runner’s
Thought: Remember when we run, we
are brought into an interaction with something greater than ourselves; we are
brought into the presence of God. Our run is a direct, physical way of getting
in touch with who we are, of getting in touch with our authentic selves. Our run
is a way to getting in touch with our Creator. Let us run today with an openness
to the unlimited opportunities to connect with God, to be touched by God, and to
create with God!
Happy
Wednesday everyone! I hope your week has been a good one so far. If not I pray
that there will be a little warm sun and goodness in your day today. Today is
the final day of our mission here at St. Jane Frances de Chantal. So far it has
been a spirit filled journey. I look forward to the same today. As we bring our
time together to a close I ask God to bless all who have taken the time out of
their busy lives to enter into the journey this week. I would ask you to please
say a prayer for the faith community here and for their preacher also!
Please
know of my prayers for you today. I pray that God will bless you with the gift
of life in all that you are doing today. I pray that you will bring God’s
presence to all you meet. I pray that you will encounter the gift of God’s love
as you journey through this day. Be well and safe in your journey of life
today! Peace in Christ’s Passion and Hope in the Risen Lord…Fr. Paul
