Today is Monday of the Twenty-Eighth Week in Ordinary Time.
Today is Columbus Day, a Federal Holiday.
As Catholics we are asked to search our hearts, our minds, our souls for the courage, the confidence, the desire to evangelize for the Lord. As we remember different aspects of our Christian lives, of our Christian identities, of our Christian promises, may strength of character lead us to do the work of the Lord. May the sacrifice of Jesus Christ provide our life with significance and meaning. May the resurrection of Jesus Christ provide our lives direction and understanding. A Christian life involves a continual narrative of conversion, of finding ways to please God, to love God, to serve God. A Christian life involves continual development of humility, charity, obedience. A Christian life involves continual expressions of mercy, compassion, forgiveness. Beloved is each Christian who obeys God, who loves God, who loves his neighbors. Beloved is each Christian who lives a life of truthfulness, faithfulness, fairness, justice. Beloved if each Christian who keeps his focus directed to God, directed to salvation, directed to the Kingdom of heaven.
Beloved live with goodness, holiness, kindness. Beloved allow the spirit of holiness to guide you, to inspire you live a life of evangelization.
