Happenings (page 38)

We must empty ourselves to purchase the treasure of complete faith and trust in God. Selling all for God is hard. And the cost is the same for everyone…it is everything.

The sun rises even when it is cloudy, and God is there even when I cannot find Him.

If I believe (and I do) that Jesus has risen, and God is present intimately among us through the Holy Spirit, I best open both my eyes and my ears.

Perhaps today is a day on the feast of Saint Mary Magdalene when we should think about the women who gift our lives.

We need to be careful not to put limits on the breadth of God’s reach.

No matter how many times we hold hands and sing Kumbaya, Evil is not going away. Satan is alive and well and living among us.

Jesus calls on us to be more. He calls us to be people rooted in faith and integrity.

If we ask, God will fill in us what we cannot fill in ourselves. God will forgive what we can’t forgive and heal the hurt in us that we cannot release.
