Thoughts for the week: |
|
| 1. Will the Son of Man “find any faith on earth?”, Jesus asks in the Gospel! Will He find it in you/me? How would you describe your faith? How do your develop it? What must you do for it to grow/ deepen? | |
| 2. Moses needed ‘support’ to continue to ‘pray’ (1st reading). What do you ‘need’ to help you to pray? Who supports you? Who/What can help you? | |
| 3. The person who is “dedicated to God becomes fully equipped and ready for any good work”. How does your faith lead you/enable you to do ‘good work’? - Vincent Harvey |

Allow your Holy Spirit to renew my inner-life. As I grow ever more conscious of my vocation to be a Disciple of your Son Jesus, with Mary as my companion on this journey; may your Light shine more brightly within me, your Love be shared more widely through me and my Gospel Witness be profound.
