God’s Spirit in the world - 26th Sunday of the Year - 27th September 2009
...Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
 

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Anyone who is not against us is for us’. One of the temptations for us as human beings is to try to control everything. We do it in the close relationships of marriage and family life. And we do it in the context of our life of faith with one another in the parish and in the Church generally. And when we try to exercise control in these areas we set limits to the wonderful possibilities that are there for us. The greatest effort of faith is always to give control back to God and live the ways God wants us to live. This has huge implications for marriage and family life in that God’s way is one of love and affection; of joy and gladness; of peace and forgiveness. It also has very big implications for our faith community, which is called to grow in such a way that there is room for everyone.

Continue to fill us with your gifts of love.
Can you remember experiencing the gifts of God’s love during last week?

Questions for Action.

For your marriage: Think of ways to show your wife/husband that you are not taking her/him for granted.
Put those into practice this week.
