Daily Thoughts - Make God Known.
1269 Having become a member of the Church, the person baptized belongs no longer to himself, but to him who died and rose for us.76 From now on, he is called to be subject to others, to serve them in the communion of the Church, and to "obey and submit" to the Church's leaders,77 holding them in respect and affection.78 Just as Baptism is the source of responsibilities and duties, the baptized person also enjoys rights within the Church: to receive the sacraments, to be nourished with the Word of God and to be sustained by the other spiritual helps of the Church.79

The Gift. I sit with David from the Old Testament, he has received the gift of new life and speaks of it freely. "Of David. A maskil. Blessed is the one whose fault is removed, whose sin is forgiven. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputes no guilt, in whose spirit is no deceit." Psalms 32:1-2. He no longer works for the food that perishes but is driven to speak of the One who saves.
Each of us are given the opportunity to receive the gift of new life. Within the stillness of the morning, the Master speaks of His love that He has for you with no expectation other than love. Our spirit rejoices in knowing God, it is filled with the peace of Christ. The world may rail around us but within the Gift resides and You know who you belong too. If He knows and cares for the sparrows how much much do you think He looks out for you.
Within the stillness of the morning, He will sing of His love for you. If you will sit still and follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit and ask for His guidance. Enjoy your day God has prepared for you, there is nothing that He can not handle.
Dear Father, I sit with You this morning and watch as You took a man who had failed in life and redeemed him through daily face to face with You. David carried the guilt of murder and adultery, You showered Your love upon Him and he in turn gives back what was freely given. Thank You for the fruit that does not perish, may we give it away freely with no expectation other than loving you in return. 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
