We are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us.
- Entrust your cares to the Lord, and he will support you. (Ps 55)
God nourishes us. Yet, how often do we allow our fears or challenging situations around us to lead us into sin.
- We may lash out in frustration or bend the rules to try to meet our needs because we doubt that God will take care of us.
- But if we honor him and trust him by living in love, he stands ready to provide for us.
- Rely on the Lord and watch for his blessings.
Know the joy of being loved by God. That’s the ultimate love we were created to experience. If that is the love that we want, then that’s the kind of love we should try to share with the people around us.
- To love others as we are loved is the best yardstick we could use for measuring our choices. “Did I love other people as I would want to be loved?”
- See your choices in the light of love. Make love the basis of the way you relate to the people around you.
May our minds be radiant in His presence, that we may cooperate with Him, by aligning our hearts with God to see his kingdom flourish.
- Sin pollutes our heart. In eucharistic we offer Jesus our hearts so he can give us his in love. So, we can have new hearts ready to love with his love.
- The Secret to a good life is to love and to surrender to love. Live with joy.
- To pray is to rest in the Lord.

When you come to prayer be sure to listen for the Lord’s voice.
- He might speak to you through a scripture passage, or through a thought that comes to you that you know isn’t your own.
- He might speak to you through the words of someone else, or through the beauty of nature.
- The Lord can use countless ways to speak to you. Your part is to still the noise around you, listen carefully and expect to hear from him.
You are punished by your sins, not because of them. It’s because you are living unconsciously (in darkness). On the other hand, if you are conscious or virtuous then you “live” in joy (enlightened).
- Cast away from you all the crime you have committed, says the Lord, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. (Ez 18:31)
- As I live, says the Lord, I do not desire the death of the sinner, but rather that he turn back and live. (Ez 33:11)
You trust God by understanding god’s nature
- You don’t have to impress anyone if you are following Jesus. You just have to stay close to him, and people will recognize his presence within you!
- “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” (Mathew 23:12)
Evangelization should flow from our experience of Jesus and his love for us.
- When we are filled with his love, we simply can’t contain it. We long for people to know that love, so we share it with them.
- His vineyard is open for you to go and help bring in a rich harvest of people longing to know him.
Here is the heart of Jesus’s message: overflowing with compassion and love, our heavenly father rushes to embrace us, forgive us, and invite us to celebrate with Him. (Luke 15:20-24).
- He takes the initiative. His goodness gives us the courage to come home. Even when our hearts are hard, he pleads with us to come and enter his joy (15:28-32)
- He pours out his heart so you can “come to your senses” (Luke 15:17).
Seek a deeper stronger relationship with the Lord, but it doesn’t have to be complicated.
- God’s grace is so accessible that we just have to ask for it. Our elaborate prayers don’t change God. When we come to him with humility and simplicity, he changes our hearts.
- We just have to be open and willing to transform our everyday lives simply by welcoming him to be part of us. Set aside time to simply be with Jesus.
We all have natural law in our hearts doing God’s will. We must not be political but instead, be brothers and sisters to others. We grow in catechesis, but we are the same. We are not here to win the political war but to become Christlike, for we are made in his image. The apostles, like Jesus went out speaking to different people spreading to good news of salvation. That is the way.
– Father Ramon (Incarnation Church)
“How can I love God more and know the ways of his kingdom better? Holy Spirit, open my heart to know the Lord.”
