Receive God's Word.

If only we all had faith the size of a mustard seed, I mean a real faith in believing all the Lord has told us, then what amazing and incredible things we could all accomplish. It would indeed change the world around us! If our hearts would just receive God’s Word, Jesus would come into our hearts more fully and our relationship with Him would grow. That would then be seen by others in how our words and actions show Christ’s presence and recognizing the presence of the risen Christ in others. We hear and listen to God’s words and follow His commandments so that we can be instruments of faith and change in the world, being true disciples of Christ. Letting Jesus to stir into fame the gifs of God has given to each of us and then using those very gifs to make better the world. There would be a joy and a willing desire to worship God regularly and receive our Lord in the Holy Eucharist instead of feeling to do so as a burden or a heavy obligation. Being free to respond to God’s calling us to Him and sharing His love and message of goodwill with others leads us to a more fulflling life. May we rejoice that God continues to send us the Holy Spirit to help keep the fame of faith burning and increasing within each of us.

Peace,
