“Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of thy faithful,
enkindle in them the fire of Thy Divine Love, send forth your Spirit, and it
shall be created, and You shall renew the face of the earth.”

"...there was great rejoicing in that
town."
"How awesome you are! "
"Jesus answered them: I am the
bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever hunger; no one who believes in
me will ever thirst."
In the first
reading, we learned about the early Christians, bravely proclaiming the gospel
to as many people as possible despite the threat of death to their lives as
experienced by Stephen. Despite the fact
that Saul was heavily persecuting them, even endorsing the death of Stephen,
the early Christians, like Philip continued to do what they needed to do and
that is to spread the work and words of Jesus.
How about
us? What is stopping us from fulfilling the great commission of Christ to us,
to spread His message, His good news, far and wide?
Are we
experiencing too much hunger and thirst that we are not able to do what is
expected of us?
Are we
allowing the threat of COVID 19 to keep us in the chains of darkness and fear?
God is still
in control and for this we should give thanks.
He still
gives us each day to wake up. He still provides for our daily bread and water
to sustain us.
He provides
for us shelter.
Basic things
He has provided for us.
Should we
not give thanks by doing us we are told?
God is so
awesome and powerful that he…
My thoughts
were cut short when I received a call from my friend at this time.
She told me
she just placed an order for a 6 seater Bjursta Ikea dining set to be delivered to me
soon.
How awesome
is our God in deed!
This comes
at the heels of another friend who just said out of the blue, I will take care
of your fee of 80 CAD so I can start my training to become a Financial Advisor
plus the janitor of this property
calling me to say he brought the corner lamp he wants to give us.
Thank you
God for sending angels among us to give us messages of your hope and
providence.
Alleluia !
Praise to
you now and forever Oh Lord!
Mary, Mother
of God, pray for us who have perpertual recourse to thee.
St. Joseph,
pray for us.
St. Michael,
the Archangel, defend us in battle.
