Let Us Be Like Christ:

Let us be like a genuine and fruitful branch of the vine, which is Christ, accepting him in our lives the way he gives himself: as truth, which must be spoken; as life, which must be lived;…as sacrifice, which must be offered in our families, to our closest neighbors, and to those who live far away.

Faith – Heart:

Jesus reminds us to pay attention to the feelings that "come out of our heart." Jesus wants us to develop a quality heart. If our heart is full of hatred, anger and pride, then our attitudes would be self-centered and our needs self-gratifying. But, if our hearts are filled with God's love, then we will be Christ-like.

**************************************************************************************

When a person loves another dearly, he desires strongly to be close to the other: Therefore, why be afraid to die? Death brings us to God!

- Saint Josephine Bakhita (1868-1947)
