Reflection 9-5-17

So much darkness in this world of ours. Facing tragic events by drawing lines in the sand. Leaders that we count on to guide our nation seem to falter and fail. Or worse we don't even give them a chance to succeed. This profound rush to judgement by giving into our fears and anxiety. Letting those elements dictate how we react or over react. Where is the compassion for our fellow brothers and sisters? Are they lost with the shuffling of political agendas? Where is their voice in this mess that we call our world? Perhaps those of us as messengers of Christ. We should take a bolder stand. Open our hearts and minds to what God would have us do. Even if we spend our time in prayer. Prayers for wisdom of our leadership. Prayers of compassion for those who are not well off. Prayers for peace in this world that celebrates violence. Prayers that those who seek help are able to find resources and that more resources would be made available. We have ownership of what goes on around us. A stake in the fate of this world. As Christ calls us we should open up our hearts more to the will of the Father. Putting our focus into proclaiming our love of Christ not in word. But in compassion and mercy. Proclaiming our love though action to the help those around us. 


Till next time.
