Prayer Prompt before reading JN 3:1-8: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and God the Son is so that I may know who I am.
“AMEN, AMEN, I SAY TO YOU,UNLESS ONE IS BORN OF WATER AND SPIRIT HE CANNOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. JN 3:1-8
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Acts 4:23-31
The early Apostles prayed to God asking Jesus to “take note of their threats and enable you servants to speak your word with all boldness, as you stretch forth your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are done through the name of your holy servant Jesus”. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
What is your prayer? We have the same Holy Spirit that the Apostles were baptized with. I think we often ask for too little when God is ready to give so much. He wants to give us His ocean of mercy and we are afraid. We think we have sinned too much or are not perfect enough to approach Him. He wants our brokenness our littleness so that He can give us His mercy. This is why He came, this was his mission and purpose!
Otherwise, His heart burns without being able to give away the mercy He died to give away to us. God is ready to give, are you ready to accept? Jesus died to give mercy to the whole world, His heart burns and He is greatly saddened when our souls do not continue to come back for His mercy.
JN 3:1-8
We must be born of the water and Spirit or we cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Then, our baptismal vows state that we reject Satan and all of his empty promises. We vow to grow in holiness. God’s grace brings us to holiness. A follower of Christ continues to strive to live a faithful sacramental life where God’s grace and mercy flow freely to those who ask for it and continually try to convert and repent. A disciple lives a life of prayer and educates themselves on the Apostles teachings (the Gospels).
Jesus asks us to join Him in the breaking of the bread where He makes Himself so little He fits between the priests two fingers so we can consume Him and be transformed by Him. Jesus invites us to gather others for a meal, many graces flow from sitting down and having a meal with others.
Jesus asks us to live in fellowship. Gather together with the people of your parish and get involved in parish events, so that each small community of believers will continue to grow and be guided by the Holy Spirit. We have received the Holy Spirit, call the Spirit to guide you each day.
Come, Holy Spirit
fill the hearts of your faithful
and kindle in them the fire of your love
send forth your Spirit
and they shall be created
and you shall renew the face of the earth (through us)!
Today’s challenge: Live like a disciple of Christ, be bold in living His Word, do not be afraid, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in your endeavor to become a saint!
Be a servant, be a saint today!
#Christian YODO (You Only Die Once; we will live again with God the Father and Son in a realm of love and being whole and complete full of joy)
