Today's reading from Exodus reminds us of an important spiritual truth. As Moses needed the assistance of Aaron and Hur to keep his arms up, praying for victory for the Israelites, so do we need the assistance of others in our own spiritual journey. We can't do it alone, which is why Jesus gives us the Church, so that we might be in a family of faith--supported, encouraged, challenged and held accountable. This is what Jesus wants our parishes to look and feel like! What can we do on a personal level to make our parish a more welcoming place where faith is supported and encouraged?
