“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.
