“For the gifts and the call of

God are irrevocable.”

Romans 11:29

God has a special mission in

mind for each of us. He has

given us the gifts we need to

accomplish that mission.

We are called to be good Stewards by using those gifts to

do the work that He has planned for each of us. If we

deny our gifts or fail to use them as God calls us to use

them, then some part of His work will be left undone.

“O God, you are my God, for you I long; for you my

soul is thirsting.” (Ps 63) Our souls are restless as we

try to find comfort in the quest of entertainment,

distractions, amusements, etc. We would be filled

faster and to capacity if we came before our

Eucharistic Jesus, went to frequent Communion and

confession. This is the way of true peace, happiness

and joy. The world cannot offer the gifts of God.

Our children should be given an opportunity to enjoy

His love and presence.
