Daily Thoughts: These words of Pope
Francis seem to capture the spirit of today's Gospel, (John 10: 11-18). ,
"Every Christian, and especially you and I, is called to be a bearer of
this message of hope that gives serenity and joy: God's consolation, his
tenderness toward all. But if we first experience the joy of being consoled by
him, of being loved by him, then we can bring that joy to others. This is
important if our mission is to be fruitful: to feel God's consolation and to
pass it on to others!"
Jesus offers us a relationship with
himself and the Father. Jesus offers us the consolation and tenderness of the
Good Shepherd. Jesus brings God’s joy to us. All we have to do is accept it and
offer it to others!
Have a great day everyone and don’t forget
to make a joyful noise with your life today!
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, you
have brought us the gift of abundant life. Give us eyes that can look beyond
the glamor and trivia of the world to the richness of your loving presence as
it comes to us in others, creation and ourselves. Grace us with hope so that we
will not give into despair, anger, vengeance and fear but through hope we will
find the joy, grace and life you came to give us. May we come to know the full
measure of life that you have promised and bring it to others! Amen!
A Runner’s Thoughts: Run with a
strong heart today. If you run in the midst of the ordinary, you will often
find yourself touched by the extraordinary presence of God. Run strong into the
heart of God today!
