He Leads, We Follow:

The spiritual life is not our enterprise. It is the work of God. He calls us forward by grace and leads us, one step at a time.

Life – Essentials:

In today’s Gospel, the “Transfiguration” scene reveals Jesus’ divinity and the Father’s Will that we should “listen to Him.” Do we take the Gospel message seriously? How much of our attention, energy and money are spent on things that we do not need nor bring lasting fulfillment? What are the non-essentials of my life?

The common saying, expressed in various ways and attributed to various authors, must be recalled with approval: in essentials, unity; in doubtful matters, liberty; in all things, charity.

- Blessed Pope John XXIII (1881-1963)
