Jesus said to his Apostles:
"Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves;
so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. Matthew 10:16
You are called to be an apostle of Christ, to go into the world and give testimony to Him who saves. The challenge is to not be trapped by the ways of the world, to be attractive within the daily tasks of life. As you think of a dove, just it's sight draws people to it. It says nothing but speaks peace, as you think about this, how can you use the gifts and talents that God has given you to draw others to the peace of Christ
"I will be like the dew for Israel: he will blossom like the lily; He will strike root like the Lebanon cedar, and his shoots will go forth. His splendor will be like the olive tree and his fragrance like Lebanon cedar."
Hosea 14:6-7. You are the shoots that go forth, be like the dew that refreshes the weary soul.
Dear Lord God, Thank You for the time to sit still in a busy morning, You always find a way. Help me use the gifts and talents to be like the dove, to see what is needed and respond with love and peace. Help us live simply and easily amongst the wolves, being a beacon for you. Bless this day Lord God, bless those around us and guide us in what each of us are called to do and be. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.
