“DO YOU BELIEVE THAT I CAN DO THIS?” MT 9:27-31

Humbly submit your will to God (thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.

What do you believe Jesus can do for you?  It doesn’t matter if you can feel Him, touch Him, or see Him.  Do you believe in Him?  ”Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am in the midst of them.”  Mt 18:20 “This is my body” “This is my blood a new and everlasting covenant” Mt 26:26-28 “But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.” Jn 16:7  

Jesus is still with us hidden behind a consecrated Host (so we don’t disintegrate and can approach Him, so we can consume Him and put Him inside of us-WOW!).  Jesus is with us guiding us through the Holy Spirit.  Jesus is with us when we pray and Jesus is alive in the Scriptures.  His Word will never pass away. Jesus is in each person we meet each day.  

What do you believe Jesus can do for you?  He is always present, we have to bring ourselves into His presence all throughout the day.  He never leaves, we leave Him through our choices and life, of course. He is always waiting for you, patiently waiting to start or continue a powerful relationship that will last for all eternity.  

He died for a reason, if we don’t come to Him in reconciliation, we are taking away the power of the cross.  Find a permanent home with Jesus starting today, work on it through Advent, then keep working on it for the rest of this life into the next.  May our “eyes be opened” to the presence of Jesus in our midst.

Today’s challenge: Take time to allow your “eyes to be opened” and find Jesus in your midst. Rededicate yourself to Jesus and ask Him for whatever your heart desires so that you may move closer to Him this Advent.

We are all saints in training.

Be a servant, be a saint today!

#Christian YODO (You Only Die Once; We will live again!)

Bible Study Questions: 1. How are we like the blind men? 2. What does Jesus say is required to be healed? 3. What does Jesus say we have to have faith in? 4. What do we usually put our faith in?

Write answers on a notecard and discuss!

    It says we have to allow our eyes to be opened. To me this means that we have to let Jesus into us, and let Him help us with life. We can’t do this without him. He is the one that chooses if we go to heaven or hell He is the one who made us. We can’t do anything without Him and His help.

    “Do you believe that I can do this?” this is the main phrase that everyone should pray on and talk to Jesus about. Even if you are having a bad day these 8 words can change that.

    If we take time to pray and understand who Jesus is, we will be able to trust Him and be able to ask for anything you’d want. The only thing God wants is our love. God has given us His love, but we just don’t realize it. Our prayers show God that we truly love Him.
