Rejoicing

So often in this day and age many people in this world walk around aimlessly, not knowing where they're going or what they're aiming for in life. Many of us are empty and we are missing someone. Today's gospel reminds us to rejoice when one is returned to our home. Coming to Christ, coming to know the King, our Savior is most glorious, and the most precious gift of all. We must rejoice when others grow in their faith. We must rejoice when someone comes to Christ. We must always allow ourselves to be joyful and walk in the light of Christ allowing His light to shine through us and touch the hearts of those around us who may not know Christ nor believe that there is a God. It is our duty, as Christians, to live our faith in every moment of our life and every day. When we are not praised for our good deeds we must remember we are only servants of Christ and only fulfilling our duty as followers, sons and daughters, of Christ.

Mother Teresa says: "People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

May God Bless you!
Keep praying!
