Live the Liturgy
Inspiration for the Week

"Do not be afraid, just have faith."

God does not rejoice in our demise or our destruction.  Rather, he made us in his image and desires that we have life.  He also desires that we be healed and know his loving touch.

There is great power in an embrace offered in love.  The touch of another can heal wounds and restore life.  There is also power in faith.  Faith can turn us toward the truth and turn us toward God.  Both love and faith can lead us to hope that no matter what we encounter, God will continue to sustain us in being.

He will not allow us to perish.  God can profoundly change how we see him, ourselves, and one another.  God desires that we turn toward him and be healed of all that wounds and binds us so that we can be free and enjoy the fullness of life.  We are asked to arise and walk proudly with his life-giving faith.

Reach out and share this faith with someone this week, so that they, too, can receive God's life-changing embrace and heed his call to wholeness.  There are many in our world wandering around aimlessly without hope.  Bring it to them.
