In Matthew 10, Jesus instructs His disciples to not be afraid...knowing full well they will experience opposition and persecution as He sends them out on mission.  The reason for them to have hope and courage is because of God's enduring presence with them.  We take a look at these important virtues in our lives too...

The love of Jesus sets us FREE.  Filled with His love, our souls become furnaces of divinely powerful love that flows through us and out to others.  Free in His love, we have His peace &amp; power to set the captives free.

No Longer a Slave to Fear

In the Transfiguration of Jesus, we hear of the divinity of God shining forth from Jesus.  In our baptisms, this very divine life of God is poured into us.  Sin prevents us from allowing God's divine life of love to blaze forth in our lives.  A MERCIFUL invitation from Jesus awaits us..."ask me to reveal your sin to you, so you can be healed of it."

Unleash the Gospel

Baptism plunges us into God, filling us with God's Holy Spirit and making us, as St. Peter describes "a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (1 Peter 2:9)  In this verse we can see a biblical root for the teaching that we are baptized "priest, prophet &amp; king".  This reflection touches on the priestly and kingly dimensions of Christian life, and then focuses on the prophetic dimension of the Christian life.

In the parable of the talents, Jesus teaches us the true riches of His love are not to be hidden away, but given away, so that all might know Him!  Looking at some of the important points of Blessed Solanus Casey's spirituality, we consider how we too can bring the healing love of Jesus to all we encounter...

Pursue

The angel Gabriel assured Mary, "nothing will be impossible for God."  This was not a one time proclamation, as Jesus himself reassured his disciples in Matthew 19 that "for God, all things are possible".  He is Emmanual, God with us, and as we learn to live more intentionally in the presence of God with faith, wisdom and courage, we will see the impossible bow at the name of Jesus.
