Generosity with possessions, time and mercy is a good and precious gift – a sign that we have been touched by the generosity of God.
Systems that seek to manipulate and exploit are not the ways of God – be wary!
Most have some difficulties in their lives. Jesus’s point was, that rather than seeking prosperity and ease, if we desire to follow after him then we may have to pay a price for Christ’s sake. Currently the trend is to follow your own heart but Jesus says deny yourself and follow him.
Imitating Christ and not just following Christ. Being a radical, peacemaker, filled with ideas and passion
and imitating Christ with love and grace. That’s our Francis!
Moving through this Epiphany we need to be looking for the signs that God has for us for this new year.
The fishermen that Jesus called to follow him, knew what it was like to pull fish from the chaos of the sea.
What does it mean to pull people from the chaos of their lives, the storms around them, the deep blue of the seas they are in and bring them into the order of God. ‘Called to follow’ equals ‘Call to love’ (even when we want to resist).
You are loved, you are not broken, you are good, beautiful, awesome! Bring joy to those around you by being a Community of Joy.
