Daily Thoughts - Make God Known.
1249 Catechumens "are already joined to the Church, they are already of the household of Christ, and are quite frequently already living a life of faith, hope, and charity."48 "With love and solicitude mother Church already embraces them as her own."49
Now is the acceptable time. Catechumens are seekers of God through holy mother Church. They have the desire to know God and develop their relationship with God through the Sacraments. We each have the inner desire to have a deeper relationship with God, do we recognize that within ourselves? Do we see the gifts that He gives us each day and do we hear the calling of our heart for something greater?
In todays readings they speak of recognizing that inner desire that only God can satisfy. We may try and fill that void with something other than God but it is only God that truly satisfies. The prophet Haggai speaks to God's children to awaken them to that desire, to spend time building self with God and God's house. Herod hears the same truth through Jesus that he heard through John the Baptist. We never stop seeking God, do we slow down and realize the beauty of His faithfulness in our own lives as He draws us into a deeper relationship.
Dear Father, I see a sea of people going about their day, do we hear the calling of our hearts to become Your students in all that we do. Do we see the gifts that You give us to build up the body of Christ? Thank You Father for allowing us to hear Your call and to recognize what it is You are asking of us. Your Spirit still speaks into the world, knowing it will not return without accomplishing the mission it was sent forth for. Prayers for hearts to hear the silent whisper of Peace. Love Your son.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
St Patrick, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
