"Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to gi ve, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." ~ 2 Corinthians 9:7-8
We can share our love, our joy, our hap piness, our time, our food, our money gladly with all. We can give out a ll the love we can with a glad, free heart and hand. We can do all we can for others and back will come countless stores of blessings. Sharing can dr aw others to us. We can take all who come as sent by God and give them a ro yal welcome. We may never see the results of our sharing. Today they may no t need us, but tomorrow may bring results from the sharing we did today. ~ Fr. Pat Umberger

"We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and right ly so, because of your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing." ~ 2 Thessalonians 1:3
Living in the spiritual realm is much like preparing for a race in the physical realm. At one point I'm working on sped, then endurance, then o n muscle tone. When not actually running I'm conscious of diet, of rest, and other factors. There are strategies and goals to be considered. < br>Spiritual growth progresses according to much the same pattern. Every in cident I face throughout the day is intended to "train" my spiritual muscle s of patience or kindness or reliance on the LORD. The difficulties and tri als I continue to encounter Teach me endurance in much the same way a ten-m ile run every morning does for my body. Once my competitive running days were behind me, I continued to train, but in a different way. My goal be came modeling myself after Jesus - ridding myself of...

"Whatever you did for one of the least important of these fo llowers of mine, you did it for me." ~ Matthew 25:40
An editori al began: "A priest we know recently described his experience of being conf ronted by a beggar while eating at a fast-food restaurant. The beggar said he was hungry, and the priest, intimidated and nervous, could only say, "I;m sorry," and look the other way.
Later, as the priest recoun ted the story, he was praying Psalm 80, "LORD, let me see your face," w hen the image of the beggar came to mind.
How many times have you se en the LORD and not recognized him?... Christ simply appears before us:& nbsp; hungry, cold and ill. Once He was a condemned prisoner led to the s laughter for the sins of others. Now He approaches us in McDonald's smellin g badly....Do we see His face?" ~ The Sunday Visitor < br>What keeps us from seeing Jesus' face in the people around us?

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his li fe for his friends." ~ John 15:13
A platoon of U.S. troops was d riven back and one of their infantrymen was wounded by gunfire. As he lay o n the battlefield, a friend asked his sergeant in the foxhole, "Can I go get 'im?" "There's no use. He's probably dead," the sergeant answered. "An d even if he isn't dead, you'd never make it back alive. But if you want t o...."
Those last few words were all the friend needed to hear. Craw ling on elbows and knees he reached the bleeding infantryman, hoisted him to his shoulders, and hobbled back. As he neared the foxhole, the heroic friend was hit in the chest with a bullet and the two friends collapsed in a heap. The sergeant tried to find the pulse of the infantryman and there w as none. Dead. Then he told the soldier, "I told you it would be sensel ess. Your friend is dead, and now you've been shot." Fighting for air, the friend painfully explained, "No, I have no ...

"The LORD is my shepherd...Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid." ~ Psalm 23:1, 4
Father Joseph Hogan was a chaplain in Europe with the U.S. Third Army. One Sunday, he f elt the presence of God in a way that touched him deeply. The wrote: "I was saying Mass on top of a jeep. The men were standing there with their gu ns slung over their backs and their helmets on. The ack-ack was pecking at the planes upstairs. There was a torrent of rain coming down and a sea of m ud to wallow in. So I said, 'Don't bother to kneel down.' And they didn't , until the Consecration. Then every man went down on his knees.... When th ey sloshed up to receive Holy Communion, they again knelt in mud puddles." ~ Joseph F. Hogan, A Do-It-Yourself Retreat
