We have all encountered "stuff" in our lives.  Over time we can find in our closets, garages, and attics that the stuff we have tends to accumulate and multiply.  We are confronted with a simple process:

  • Recycle it
  • Repurpose it
  • Remove it
  • Keep it...and put it to good use

The same is true for our hearts!  Over time we discover both good and bad elements that need to be examined and sorted - what needs to stay and what needs to go?

May this upcoming mission help us to look to the death and resurrection of Christ for the strength and wisdom we need to cleanse our hearts.

God keeps speaking to us, and we have a daily opportunity to listen and take the message to heart.  A couple of points to remember:

  • Sometimes we are biased toward the message
  • Sometimes we are biased toward the messenger

May we listen to the Lord - and allow both the message and the messager to touch us and help us grow.

Forgiveness is one of those great teachings of Jesus that is easy to hear and hard to do.  Yet when we say "I'm sorry" and "I forgive you" the grace and peace of Christ flows into our hearts.  God forgives us, and the Lord invites us to embrace this reality in our daily lives with one another.

Parents and teachers form children by the direction of rules and guidelines.  There are some things we tell our kids to do (or not do) so that they can flourish and grow.  

The Lord does the same thing for us by setting precepts and commandments to help us find our way through life.
