Although The Life Of A Person Is

It Makes Me Sad When I Find Sisters Who Aren't Joyful. They Might Smile, But With Just A Smile They Could Be Flight Attendants!

Sometimes We Are Tempted To Be That Kind Of Christian Who Keeps The Lord’s Wounds At Arm’s Length. Yet Jesus Wants Us To Touch Human Misery, To Touch The Suffering Flesh Of Others. He Hopes That We Will Stop Looking For Those Personal Or Communal Niches Which Shelter Us From The Maelstrom Of Human Misfortune And Instead Enter Into The Reality Of Other People’s Lives And Know The Power Of Tenderness. Whenever We Do So, Our Lives Become Wonderfully Complicated And We Experience Intensely What It Is To Be A People, To Be Part Of A People.

A God Who Draws Near Out Of Love, The Holy Father Continued, Walks With His People, And This Walk Comes To An Unimaginable Point. We Could Never Have Imagined That The Same Lord Would Become One Of Us And Walk With Us, Be Present With Us, Present In His Church, Present In The Eucharist, Present In His Word, Present In The Poor, He Is Present, Walking With Us. And This Is Closeness: The Shepherd Close To His Flock, Close To His Sheep, Whom He Knows, One By One.

The Lord Put It Clearly: You Cannot Serve Two Masters. You Have To Choose Between God And Money.

The Life Of A Family Is Filled With Beautiful Moments: Rest, Meals Together, Walks In The Park Or The Countryside, Visits To Grandparents Or To A Sick Person... But If Love Is Missing, Joy Is Missing, Nothing Is Fun. Jesus Gives Always Gives Us That Love: He Is Its Endless Source. In The Sacrament He Gives Us His Word And He Gives Us The Bread Of Life, So That Our Joy May Be Complete.
