From the Holy Father: “The Gospel is the real antidote to spiritual destitution: wherever we go, we are called as Christians to proclaim the liberating news that forgiveness for sins committed is possible, that God is greater than our sinfulness, that he freely loves us at all times and that we were made for communion and eternal life. The Lord asks us to be joyous heralds of this message of mercy and hope! It means following and imitating Jesus, who sought out the poor and sinners as a shepherd lovingly seeks his lost sheep.”
Reflection: Pause for a moment and reflect on God’s love and presence in the world. Thank God for all He has one for you; think of your “crosses” and see how He has been with you through all of them.
Action:
• Write five things you believe in
• Kneel in front of a crucifix, fix your eyes on him and repeat this prayer three times: “Lord you have done all this for me. What have I done for you?”
