Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Mt. 5

No matter what the media tells us, or anyone else, deep down we know that our biggest reward is heaven. So, lets open our hearts and minds to understand that I need one thing only: My faith is the only thing I need to get to heaven.

Reflection: Stop for a moment and consider what is weighing on you, what’s holding you back from living your faith freely.

• Today “Score for heaven” by smiling, giving words of encouragement, being positive…
