Hope all’s well.
There’s a line from the Act of Sorrow with which the children and their parents are familiar - ‘Help me to live like Jesus’.
And this is what we’re all called to do, to live like Jesus, to be like Jesus, to be Christ like among those with whom we live and work.
Hopefully, we can be like Jesus even at the very end of our lives and say to God as he said, ‘ I have finished the work you gave me to do’
Until that day comes, we are to do our best in responding to God’s call to be Christian, to do our best to make God known to others, which is done really by the way we live.
In being called to do our best, to make God known to others, Jesus doesn’t just leave us to it - the Holy Spirit works in us and through us to help us touch the hearts of others.
Have a safe and happy Tuesday. Remember, 9@9 prayer tonight to the Holy Spirit. We're half way there now in our waiting and praying.
Take care

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord,
Amen.
