Daily Thoughts - Make God Known
1244 First Holy Communion. Having become a child of God clothed with the wedding garment, the neophyte is admitted "to the marriage supper of the Lamb"44 and receives the food of the new life, the body and blood of Christ. The Eastern Churches maintain a lively awareness of the unity of Christian initiation by giving Holy Communion to all the newly baptized and confirmed, even little children, recalling the Lord's words: "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them."45 The Latin Church, which reserves admission to Holy Communion to those who have attained the age of reason, expresses the orientation of Baptism to the Eucharist by having the newly baptized child brought to the altar for the praying of the Our Father
At the heart of it. The heart of God, that is what is at the heart of it. His mission and His purpose and our purpose is to be reunited with Him forever. I have my opinions but it is Jesus, son of man that I seek to emulate. Baptism as a child, as an adult, does it really matter. Depends who you ask but I know if the heart is right it will be right no matter when or how.

Jesus speaks to the crowds and brings up their hardness of heart, shows them where God the Father has sent His prophets to change their ways, has sent His Son to change their heart and gives us an insight into the divine life. Do we condemn what we hear, do we judge another for his actions or do see with the heart of God.
God is truly the only one who can transform the heart and mind of a person to become an image of Him. Wisdom is knowing that we should be receptive to listening to God and following Him. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. So as God speaks into the depths of your soul, will you follow man's ways or God's ways. Trust where He will take you and discern it with an overwhelming sense of peace.
Where God is, there is Peace.
Dear Father, there is lots of noise in the marketplace, lots of reason to become upset and there You stand patiently waiting for Your children to respond to Your voice. I thank You for Your timing, Your insight, Your love and Your heart. May You continue to transform mine to be more like Yours. Love Your son.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Patrick, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
