The Prophet Jeremiah said, “When I found your words, I devoured them; they became my joy and the happiness of my heart, Because I bore your name, O Lord, God of hosts.” [Jeremiah 15:16]
Christ showed us the human face of God and we are sustained in God’s grace through the Risen Lord. Bishop Terry Steib (Bishop of Memphis) in his pastoral letter in March 2009 wrote, “Our Catholic faith does not emerge from an idea. It is not primarily a philosophy of life …not primarily a code to live by. Our faith rests on a real historical person – Jesus of Nazareth – who literally embodied God for us.” (Origins, April 23, 2009)
Jesus of Nazareth is the VINE of LIFE! If we abide in THE WORD, in THE EUCHARIST, and in THE HOLY SPIRIT – we will be branches properly pruned & we will produce much fruit.
We will be branches not only attached the vine but branches deeply in love with the vine.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
St. Francis de Sales, pray for us.
May God Be Praised and your day be Blessed.
