    154. Jesus is here After choosing Jesus as a friend, we have the opportunity to welcome him as a teacher. It’s difficult to trust God with everything we hear, what they suggest in the world, but it’s up to us to create a relationship with him. Let’s verify by ourselves and with competent...

    150. Foundation of faith Sometimes we think that we have to do many things and find solutions to be accepted by God. But it’s much simpler. Let’s just ask him to help us find him. Let’s just accept him in our lives by saying, “Yes, Lord, I want it, be my Lord, my guide and my master. I want...

    149. The call we receive Sometimes we have ups and downs. Our life is not always in a straight line. There are sometimes curved lines. And we know that we can wander far before a return to the natural base of life offered by God. In society as in the Church, it is similar, their members...

    148. Connected to the source God has a mission for us: Now the Lord speaks, he who has fashioned me from the bosom of my mother to be his servant, that I bring Jacob back to him, that I will gather him Israel. “I am made glorious in the sight of the Lord, and my God is now my strength!”...

    146. Delight the hearts of the people To begin a mission for us and for humanity, we start with Jesus. He is the cause, the reason and the purpose for the Mission. To accomplish it, there is only one solution, that Jesus be our Lord and Saviour, our Master. If we want to help the world to...

    145. Jesus leads us to salvation We go and come from different places, but: “Jesus is resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem.” Luke, chapter 9, verse 51 Jesus could have simply followed the road to Jerusalem like many people every day. However, he embarked on the road with a...

    144. Path to holiness This sentence can make us think of all those who dare to recognize that God is their only possible path to holiness: “‘Come! let us go to implore the favour of the Lord’; and, ‘I too will go to seek the Lord.’” Zechariah, chapter 8, verse 21 Me, whatever the case...

    143. The Lord is with us Jesus Loves us, he doesn’t force anyone and he sets us free. Jesus accepts what we want and he will not give more than we ask. Freely, if our request is not precise, we risk finding ourselves with very little. Sometimes we ask, but we don’t believe in it. Sometimes...

    141. Our thanksgiving to Jesus The light illuminates our way when we are driving. It would be very risky to venture on a road at night without headlights on. We may not get very far. And the danger of damage and injury is great. This is what happens in our lives when we do not give God...

    139. God is here, let’s trust! Sometimes, to come back to God, we think we have to cry out, because suffering holds us and doesn’t let us go. But we don’t have to scream. Shouting is a sign that we have gone too far. We have moved away from God. God is here, let’s trust! God chases us with...

    138. Love finds its source in God This passage is clear: “The natural person does not accept what pertains to the Spirit of God.” 1 Corinthians, chapter 2, verse 14 The person who only relies on his strengths and abilities is like a discount battery rapidly losing energy. He is not...

    137. We develop healthy and holy ways Paul also invites us to a relationship with God: “We have not received the spirit of the world [wordly] but the Spirit that is from God, so that we may understand the things freely given to us by God.” 1 Corinthians, chapter 2, verse 12 The Spirit...

    133. God has transformed our life Whether we are with Jesus or not, the difficulties of life will arise and we will have to go through these trials. It’s in fact much better to go through a trial with Jesus than without him. How many times have we met a person in Jesus who walks freely...
