JJeessuuss,, ffrriieenndd ooff OOuuttccaassttss"Whatever you eat, whatever you drink, whatever you doat all, do it for the glory of God." We often think of faithand religion only in terms of prayer. The extraordinary thingabout Jesus and his teaching, as seen in this passage fromSt. Paul, is that true religion is to be found in the ordinarythings of life and true faith is to be lived in daily life. This isespecially true in the day-to-day loving that is marriage.Each couple live out their spirituality in the ways theytenderly love one another. And in family life the quality oflove is what makes people holy. In our life together in ourfaith community we are called to the spirituality of being acommunity in which we care for one another. We needprayer as part of it all both to grow in the power to love andto celebrate the goodness of love. It is only through thepower of God that we can love as we should.
Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
