Thought: Made for Life:
Every day we have life and death in our hands, in a manner of speaking. We can raise up, or bring down. We can praise, or criticise. We can work with , or plot against. We can bring joy, or instil fear. We can have people love us, or hate us. The choice is ours. Temperament has a lot to do with this, but not everything.Much depends on our awareness and our generosity.
Somebody once remarked that since we have to look someway it might as well be happy. So too, since we have to speak someway it might as well be positively.There is so much gloom and doom around at times, you’d wonder if we really realise in whose image and likeness we’re made: the God of life and creativity.
(Fr. Tom Cahill SVD)
Words from Pope Francis on Consecrated Life:
Pope Francis urges a restless search, like that of Augustine of Hippo, a "restlessness of heart that led him to a personal encounter with Christ, leads us to understand that the God he was looking for outside of himself is the very God who is near to everybody, the God close to our heart, nearer to us than our own selves."
