Ignite the Fire in Each Other.
During the challenging early months of the pandemic, the Lord Jesus blessed our parish staff with a profound sense of community. We became a family, bound by love and care for each other. This unity was fostered by our daily gatherings around the altar of sacrifice, where we met Jesus, for three months of lockdown.
After each Mass, we, as a community, evaluated our situation and made necessary adjustments. How can we best serve the people of Blessed Sacrament? This process reminds me of the time the apostles spent with Jesus, learning to be His disciples.
Morning, noon, and night, the disciples became a family, God’s family.
The time came for them to reach out to people the Lord wanted to meet and welcome them into His Church family. He gave them authority over all the obstacles, demons, and illnesses that would distract people from meeting Jesus in these men.
Here is the key to evangelization: It’s through people, not programs, walking sticks, food, or an extra tunic, that Jesus works. Those are only aids or tools for the work we do. People are the Presence of Jesus in the world. Jesus sent the disciples out two by two, “Whenever two or more of you gather in My Name, I am with you.”
Gospel Challenge:
I encourage you to share the burdens you carry in your heart with a trusted friend. Pray with them, sharing your thoughts and feelings with Jesus and your friend. Miracles happen when we open our lives to a community and invite Jesus to be with us. This deepens our friendships in a way that transcends this world, creating a bond that lasts into eternity. May peace be with you.
Love Your Neighbor:
Please join me in praying for all baptized Catholics to be faithful to Jesus in the Holy Mass every weekend. Hail Mary, full of grace…
