Developing communities of young adult missionary disciples

Love allures us and also asks of us. We can often

Love allures us and also asks of us. We can often think of love in a flowery way where only light and fanciful feelings are involved, but the vision of true love is much deeper than that. To be willing to suffer with someone, to believe that someone is worth dying for and to undergo little deaths to self every day for their sake, is truly Christ-like love. ⁠
⁠
We have opportunities every day to love in this way. We can love our community by giving up $5 a week to put in the church collection bin. We can sacrifice time to make snack packs to give to the homeless on our street corners. We can give an extra bit of time when we are impatient in order to listen to a family member's troubles. We can say yes to the sacrifices of chastity with a boyfriend or girlfriend, and by suffering with them truly love them better. ⁠
⁠
True love has a true cost, but its riches are indescribable, and this kind of truly full life is what God created us for. ⁠
⁠
Lord, help us to know Your love for us, which bled on the cross, and help us to love others with this same sacrificial love. ⁠

What if the thing we are looking for, longing for,

What if the thing we are looking for, longing for, is actually a “Who”, and He has a plan to meet each and every one of our needs.

He is our Provider, and we can trust Him. Not even death can stop His coming for us. The Christ comes to restore us, heal us, and make us new.

From our place of lack and of seeking today, let’s praise Him, with faith in what is to come.

Fear can often disguise itself as prudence, and in

Fear can often disguise itself as prudence, and in situations where we may be called to step out, take a risk, or speak the truth, we can sometimes refuse to even consider the possibility, saying things like, "it's better if I don't rock the boat," or "nothing will really be gained by my taking this risk; better not to." Prudence is a virtue, and we need to discern in prayer if we are called to silence or speech, to external action or inward prayer. But in order to make this discernment, we first must be honest with ourselves about whether we are allowing fear's intimidations to masquerade as holy prudence. ⁠
⁠
Fear invents or exaggerates a threat, makes it seem more devastating than it really is, and leads us to hunker down under layers of self-protection. Fear stifles love, isolating us in an inner cage of dampened fervor. ⁠
⁠
We all fall into this trap (often), but we also know that this is not how we were meant to live. We were meant to be brave: to walk into new territory when God is leading us there, to be unashamed of who we are, to break the confusion around us with words of truth. Only by living bravely, in the fervor of love, does the darkness start to splinter and the light of Jesus enter more fully into ours and others' lives. ⁠
⁠
We have tried again and again and know that this bravery cannot be conjured up by our efforts alone. So, we ask the Holy Spirit, who is perfectly brave, who brings the gift of fortitude, to come and help us. To fill us with His light. To cast out any darkness from our own lives so we can then be light to others. To make us brave. ⁠
⁠
St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us. ⁠
⁠
"Start being brave about everything. Drive out darkness and spread light. Don't look at your own weaknesses. Realize instead that in Christ crucified you can do everything." ⁠

Summer nights are known for their thunderstorms, a

Summer nights are known for their thunderstorms, and we all know the tension of waiting inside, suspenseful, wondering what will come our way. Will we get bombarded with rain or hail? Will we lose power? Or will it simply pass us by and we'll be free to keep our windows open and go outdoors? ⁠
⁠
Many storms meet us in our daily lives, and we are often left in suspense, wondering what obstacles we will face. The tension can wear on us, and we can often feel unsteady, wondering in the midst of uncertainty what we have to cling to. ⁠
⁠
God's mercy comes to meet us wherever we are. It meets us on the ground, as He raises our heads and speaks to us the reassuring truth that He is always with us, and He isn't going anywhere. ⁠
⁠
Today is a new day, and His mercy is here. May we cling to the truth, and may the truth set us free: ⁠
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." - Lamentations 3:22-23 ⁠

"Jesus wants me to tell you again how much love He

"Jesus wants me to tell you again how much love He has for each one of you beyond all you can imagine...⁠
⁠
We may spend time in chapel—but have you seen with the eyes of your soul how He looks at you with love? Do you really know the living Jesus—not from books but from being with Him in your heart? Have you heard the loving words He speaks to you?⁠
⁠
Ask for the grace; He is longing to give it. Until you can hear Jesus in the silence of your own heart, you will not be able to hear Him saying “I thirst” in the hearts of the poor. Never give up this daily intimate contact with Jesus as the real living person—not just the idea. How can we last even one day without hearing Jesus say “I love you”—impossible. Our soul needs that as much as the body needs to breathe the air. If not, prayer is dead—meditation, only thinking. Jesus wants you each to hear Him—speaking in the silence of your heart." ⁠
⁠
- Mother Teresa ⁠
⁠
Mother Teresa, pray for us, that we can come to know Jesus in this way. ⁠

The everyday circumstances of our lives are the ki

The everyday circumstances of our lives are the kindling for holiness, and God desires to encounter us in our everyday moments. Sometimes we can close our eyes to God's workings around is, protesting that our everyday - the driving, working, doing chores, shopping, and hanging out with friends - isn't "spiritual enough" for God to really speak to us. But what if He is already with us, alive and brimming over with good news to proclaim to us through these circumstances? What if He is continually trying to get our attention through the realities around us, both the surprisingly consoling and the surprisingly difficult? What if they are our way to holiness? ⁠
⁠
What might He be saying to you here and now, today? ⁠
PS - it may not be what you immediately expect 🙂 ⁠
⁠
Lord, give us eyes to see. ⁠
