Ponder these three insights into being a disciple of Jesus Christ. St. Catherine of Siena said, “Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire."
St. Francis de Sales
wrote, “Be who you are and be that well.”
Pope Francis offered, "The Son of God manifests his Lordship not ‘from the top down,’ not from a distance, but in bending down, stretching out his hand; he manifests his Lordship in closeness, in tenderness, in compassion. Closeness, tenderness, compassion are the style of God. God draws near, and he draws near with tenderness and compassion. How many times in the Gospel before a health problem or any problem do we read: ‘he had compassion.”’ Jesus’ compassion, God’s closeness in Jesus is God’s style."
Today reflect on “being who God wants you to be today,” and when tomorrow gets here it will be today, so you can, again, "be who God wants you to be today.”
May God Be Praised.
