Reflection from the past week:

Life is full of choices. We are constantly making decisions, and the decisions we make today will determine who we become tomorrow. Are you willing to emerge strengthened?

Are you making room in your life, mind and heart for God's word? "Jesus' concern for people's physical and material needs is one of the things that set him apart from the spiritual leaders of his time. He wasn't just interested in the spiritual well-being of people; he was interested in the whole person." - Matthew Kelly

When we live in convenient darkness, unaware of our sins, we will never make spiritual progress, so we need the light. However painful it is - then we can begin to rise. - Bishop Robert Barron

Be a Rebel - reject the world's vision for your life. Embrace and celebrate God's vision. - Matthew Kelly

Jesus said to them, “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” - John 8:7

Can you be faithful and critical?

"I am the resurrection and the life, whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die." - John 11:25

Although we may not all agree on the exact specifics of faith and religion, help us to unite and know that God is with us. He is calling us to unite in His name, as one people who love and serve the Lord.

"I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me." - John 7:29

"One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God." - Matthew 4:4B

"Truth engages the mind, beauty engages the heart and imagination, and goodness engages our very humanity and inspires us to love deeply." - Matthew Kelly

For God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten son so that everyone who believes in Him might have eternal live. - John 3:16

The saints experienced life to the fullest in a way that most of us cannot even begin to imagine. We are called to lay down our lives in small ways each day so that other people can be raised up in some way. Are you willing to lay down your life by making small sacrifices?
