The Holy Spirit makes us take flight, opens up the wonderful destiny for which we were born, and nourishes us with living hope. Let us ask Him to come to us, and He will draw near.
In these holy days let us stand before the Crucified One and let us ask for the grace to live in order to serve. May we reach out to those who are suffering and those most in need. May we not be concerned about what we lack, but what good we can do for others.
The tragedy we are experiencing summons us to take seriously the things that are serious, and not to be caught up in those that matter less; to rediscover that life is of no use if not used to serve others. For life is measured by love.
Thank you everyone for your incredible messages of support and encouragement.♥️
Many of you asked what it was like in the ER right now. I want to share a bit with you. Please RT:
A Day in the Life of an ER Doc - A Brief Dispatch from the #COVID19 Frontline:
Happy MLK day!
And in his honour below an excerpt from his Sept. 13, 1964 speech in East Berlin, regarding the “Wall"
"It is indeed an honor to be in this city, which stands as a symbol of the divisions of men on the face of the earth,” he told East Berliners.
For here on either side of the wall are God’s children and no man-made barrier can obliterate that fact. Whether it be East or West, men and women search for meaning, hope for fulfillment, yearn for faith in something beyond themselves,
Just as there are seasons of growth, there are seasons of pruning. Without pruning, we won’t become all we're created to be. God wouldn’t let you go through a cutback if it wasn't going to work for your good.
It’s so easy to be affectionate with children when they are little. Hugs, kisses, bedtime snuggles. It‘s a little harder when they’re teenagers who tower over you, but often times I think they are the ones who need it most.
