A Personal Invitation

I invite all of you who follow Jesus, wherever you are, to spend time every day renewing your personal relationship with him, letting him touch your hearts.

Scripture

As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love. John 15:9

Prayer
Loving God and Father, open my mind and heart to the realization that Jesus is one of the greatest gifts in my life. You invite me through him to a new way of seeing and loving. Beginning today, I will try to be more conscious that Jesus loves me and abides with me, and I will try to renew my relationship with him in all I do today. Amen

Practice
Today I will set aside a space in my home, if only a small corner, where I can light a candle as a reminder that Jesus abides in me, here and now, and always.

Patience

“Beloved, let us love one another.” 1John 4:7

  1. In what ways do I see my job or position as a call or invitation from God?
  2. Am I confusing my God given talents and gifts?
  3. Is my faith an inspiring gift to the students and my peers? My parish?
  4. Do you think we own our gifts?
