Daily Thoughts - Make God Known.
1299 In the Roman Rite the bishop extends his hands over the whole group of the confirmands. Since the time of the apostles this gesture has signified the gift of the Spirit. The bishop invokes the outpouring of the Spirit in these words:
- All-powerful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
by water and the Holy Spirit
you freed your sons and daughters from sin
and gave them new life.
Send your Holy Spirit upon them
to be their helper and guide.
Give them the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of right judgment and courage,
the spirit of knowledge and reverence.
Fill them with the spirit of wonder and awe in your presence.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.113

Serve God. I witness Daniel serve God in how he lives his life. How he carry's himself and how he treats others. I hear Jesus say the same words to those listening to the coming persecutions and what can be expected. King Belshazzar, not a man of God knew who served God and could give him the answer to the writing. The king served mammon and it was evidence by the way he lived and what he worshipped.
Which one is it, God or god that your life speaks to? Do others know that you serve the God of creation. Are you filled with the spirit of wonder and awe of His presence. He is everywhere, all knowing and has planted you were you are at.
Our lives speak of which God resides in our hearts, may it be the God of Creation that captivates each of us. And, He will give us the gift of His Spirit when we are called to go forward. We are all called.
Dear Father, You flow through my spirit and teach me what is needed and what is not. You work with Your son and help him along the journey. I thank You for another day to continue to listen and respond to Your voice. Prayers for the king Belshazzar's of this world, may they recognize the writing on the wall and change their ways so we can serve you. Love Your son.
Mary, Queen of Saints, 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
