Fr Joe writes
The Most Important Gifts
What do you want most from God? What do you think God would most want to give to you? Perhaps the
deepest desire of God would be to give you the gift of being conscious of him in your daily life, along with the
power to understand his love and to share the gift of that love with others. If you look at the words of Jesus
in scripture, these seem to be the gifts God is most desirous of giving to all of us. Are these the gifts that you
would most want to receive from God?
Let us offer our personal prayer:
“Lord, I admit that my desires are not always for those things that are the most important in life. I want to understand
what the most important gifts of life are, so that I might desire to receive them from you. Expand the scope of my
vision.”
HAPPY FEAST DAY TO ALL AND GOD BLESS. LOTS OF LOVE
FROM FR JOE AND FR RENALD.
