HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Some things to think about:
How will I nurture my faith and strengthen my ability to love
sincerely in 2014?
Am I determined to find and give birth to Jesus in all of the events of my life in 2014?
Paired with Jesus, do I believe that nothing is impossible with God when I am faced with the challenge to
become a better person in my marriage, in my relationships, in my community?
Planted and rooted in Christ Jesus, do I realize what that
means for me in 2014?
Yielding to the will of God, am I ready to surrender my will
to the will of God in all I desire in 2014?
Necessarily saved by God’s love and mercy, do I realize the
price Jesus paid for my ransom or do I take God’s sacrifice for granted?
Ever in need God’s grace to do good, do I take the time to acknowledge my neediness and seek God’s help in my weakness?
Ever in need God’s grace to do good, do I take the time to acknowledge my neediness and seek God’s help in my weakness?
Will I, in 2014, seek the Lord above all else or will I forget
that I need God?
Yoked to sin and death prior to Jesus’ death and resurrection,
how grateful am I for God’s mercy and how will I show that gratefulness in 2014?
Enveloped by God’s love, how will I pass that love on to
others in 2014?
Am I determined, in 2014, to make Christ known by my
willingness to acknowledge my faults, repent of them, ask forgiveness when I
hurt another person, show my love in the little things that make life easier
for those with whom I love, work and play?
Realizing that I pass through this life only once, what am I
willing to do in 2014 that will make this world—the world of my family life,
community life, parish life--a better place?
