Some how we have come to fear giving our will and our total life in love to God who is love. This fear is a deception, as God does not take our joy away, but shows us the way to live the fullness of life and in living in imitation of Christ we receive true joy.
“And so today, dear young people: DO NOT BE AFRAID OF CHRIST! He takes nothing away but gives you EVERYTHING. When we give ourselves to Him, we receive a hundred-fold in return. Yes, open, open wide the doors to Christ and you will find TRUE LIFE.” – Pope Benedict XVI
Open your hearts to Christ who pour into your hearts a spring of living water which not only washes away our sins, but fills us to overflowing with love and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Fr. Paul
