Who is Jesus for me? A fundamental question in my faith life! I can only answer this truthfully, not by reciting a creed, but by the way I live my life, each day.

The disciples learnt by following their Master, in the path he took to complete his mission given to him by His Father: a path that would lead them to persecution and death. Is my faith in Jesus strong enough to accept and complete the mission destined by GOD for me? We are living in times when we need to proclaim our faith openly and without shame!

It is in my daily living, wherever I am placed that I can proclaim my faith, by my patience and struggle to be true to Jesus. There is no short cut to Easter...to the Resurrection, to Eternal life and happiness. The journey I am on begins each morning with the Call to: "Listen" to his voice.



LORD, strengthen me in my resolve to be true to You!


DAILY OFFERING
Eternal Father, I offer You everything I do this day; my thoughts, words, joys and sufferings. Grant that, vivified by the Holy Spirit and united to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, my life this day may be of service to You and to others. I also pray that all those preparing for marriage discover in Sacrament the source of Christ's grace for living a fithful and fruitful love. Amen.
