Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
HAVE A SUPER BLESSED YEAR!
The Lord bless you and keep you! – Numbers 6:24
My sons love playing with clay. It’s a great toy because you can shape it any way you want.
My boys would ask, “Dad, make a ball!” and I’d roll it on my hands and make a ball. Then they’d say, “Dad, make a hotdog!”and I’d rub it between my palms and make a hotdog. Then they’d ask, “Dad, make an Optimus Prime Transformer robot!” and I’d tell them, “Nah, that’s too simple for me. Here, why don’t you try it?”
Friend, here’s the truth that you may not know. Your life is like clay in your hand.
Because God has given you the power to shape your life.
And this new year is no different.
How do you want your 2012 to look like? It’s really up to you. It’s your choice. You call the shots. You decide your destiny.
I repeat. Your life is a clump of clay. And God has given you two powerful tools to shape your life: your faith and your action. Actually, faith and action are one.
Because the clearest expression of your faith is when you act on what you believe.
And you’ll discover that life — and all of God’s creation — will adjust to your faith and action. Have a blessed 2012!Bo Sanchez (bosanchez@kerygmafamily.com)
REFLECTION:
Check your actions. Do they match your faith?
Lord, give me the audacity to act as my faith dictates.
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us
