Spirit of Faith
Much of the Bible calls us to entrust our lives completely to God compelling us to meditate on the meaning of faith. The Scriptures rest upon faith and remain inspired by the Spirit of faith.

Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima when a large group of people witnessed the sun “dance” on October 13, 1917 near Fatima, Portugal, however three shepherd children did not see the miracle.

The mutual love of the Father and the Son, which Jesus gratuitously extends to us as his friends, should bear fruit in charity. The first Christians took very seriously Christ’s command of charity. It was their distinctive mark. It set them apart from the peoples among whom they lived. It was the magnetic force that attracted so many to join their ranks.
The command to love each other is the logical result of our personal worth as people loved by the Lord. If Jesus loves my brother or sister so much that he gave his life for him or her, can there be any excuse for me not to show respect and deference on their behalf? Charity is the badge of every true Christian. How can I better live Christ’s commandment of love, starting within my own family?
Jesus, I pray that I will never cease to be astonished by the depths of your personal love for me. You call me your friend even though I have not always lived up to the demands of this calling. I want to be a better and truer friend of yours. As a signal of my intention, I will show a simple act of kindness to a member of my family today. Amen

When I cling to God who is the Beloved and whom I love, I learn how to love, and I become more loving. However, my hurts and disappointments that have shaped me and taken away my innocence keep me from alignment. As I practice the virtue of fortitude, I’m given the grace to see the reality of who I am. I have the courage to go deep within and take off the blinders of how I perceive myself. I understand the dark and light sides of my being.

Do you accept that the goodness that God lives within your heart? The wisdom and truth of the Holy Spirit lives inside us, constantly breathing life into us. How often are we in too big of a hurry to notice, or too exhausted and overwhelmed with the to-do list where we put what really needs to be first on the list at the end of that list? Often, I ignore the whisper within calling me to make a certain “better” live giving choice for myself. Take that walk, eat that salad, stretch your body, sit with Me.
