Pilgrim Priest Fr. Joel Sember

Mine will be a life well lived if people say of me, "He was a good son of our Heavenly Father; he was a good father to God's children." Mark 4:26-34 shows us the two tools that fathers can use to change the world: their words and their good deeds.

Why do humans wear clothes? The Bible says we felt ashamed, and quickly learned to point the finger of blame at everyone else. Jesus teaches us a better way to live.

Communion under both species is a fuller symbol of Jesus giving himself completely to us. When we enter into Communion with Jesus, the very life of God flows in our veins. Become what you receive!

The Trinity means that God is love. He is always pouring himself out in love. We can only truly fulfill our calling if we learn to live from within the love of the Trinity. We need to draw life from within the Trinity and pour it out for others.

When we desire true love, community, peace, and guidance, we are really desiring the Holy Spirit. We can always draw more life from God, so our prayer each day should be, "Come, Holy Spirit!” Our "Yes" will inspire those around us to say, "Yes."

Jesus is now seated at the vantage point. He gives gifts to men. One of those gifts is the elevation of natural motherhood through the gift of the Holy Spirit. God is with us and he sees the big picture. Your little “yes” changes the world.
