To welcome another in Jesus’ name is to extend hospitality to Jesus himself.

When we have learned to work together with others to achieve a common goal, we have learned something of what it means to do the work of Christ.
Every person in the Church is sent by Christ to do the work that he did.
When we share in the Body and Blood of Christ, Jesus himself comes to dwell within us. This communion with the Lord makes us one body, brings us eternal life, and sends us forth to be Christ’s Body in the world.
God acts always as a God of love; he does not condemn the world but acts to save it.
I am deeply convinced that the power of the Church and of a community is not in numbers. It is in the restlessness provided by the Spirit.
As we celebrate the ascension of the Lord it is very good that we introspect and see whether the spirit of the Lord is really active in us or not.
Never be afraid to turn to Jesus for mercy after sinning; Jesus is always waiting to forgive us and restore us again.
If we try to live without Jesus, life will not go nearly as well as when we have Jesus at the centre of our lives.
When Jesus calls us by our name, may we answer in faith, gratitude, and gratefulness. May we follow where he leads us.
