Call & Vocation
Evangelisation
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away;
as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
1Corinthians 13:8
Monday 8th November : Where does Jesus send us? There are no borders, no limits: he sends us to everyone …The lord seeks all, he seeks everyone to feel the warmth, of his mercy and his love.
Tuesday 9th November : Do you know what the best tool is for evangelising the young? Another young person!
Wednesday 10th November : People today certainly need words, but most of all they need us to bear witness to the mercy and tenderness of the Lord, which warms the heart, rekindles hope, and attracts people toward the good.
Thursday 11th November: Our vocation could not be full if it excluded our mud, our falls, our failures, our daily struggles. In fragility, the life of Christ manifests itself and becomes a saving proclamation.
Friday 12th November: There is nothing improvised in this following of Jesus-it requires the preparation of a lifetime.
Saturday 13th November: I am a mission on this earth: that is the reason I am here in this world. We have to regard ourselves as sealed, even branded, by this mission of bringing light, blessing, enlivening, rising up, healing and freeing.
"Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints" O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and Charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me (request). O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms; and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen
