Gospel Reflections

Consider what it is you can do to build up the reign of God and encourage those who are on this journey of faith

Pray for guidance and you will find where you are needed the most

What burden do you have that weighs you down?

How can you help the family or friend in their time of need and recuperation?

Let us spend some time this week reflecting on how we are forming a loving relationship with God and others in our hearts and in our daily interactions.

In prayer this week, perhaps we can consider what words of Jesus are hardest for us to accept. Can we speak honestly with Jesus about them?

When we pray this week, perhaps we can discern what person(s) God might be calling us to comfort or with whom to share joy.

Perhaps during a walk or while sitting quietly, we can reflect on who or what has conveyed God’s love to us today and offer a prayer of thanksgiving for that gift.

Perhaps in prayer this week, in addition to asking for our immediate needs, we might focus on the deeper experience of the gift of the Bread of Life.

Consider the many ways you have been blessed in your life. Give thanks for God’s abundant generosity.

Make the effort now to set aside a few moments each day to rest, to be quiet and to let Jesus speak to one’s heart.

Consider this week how you may need to do some personal house cleaning to make room and time to focus your life on treasures given by a caring and generous God such as love, compassion, generosity, forgiveness, and kindness.
