A reflection on the Gospel of
Friends in Christ,
As we gather here in prayer to give glory to our LORD God through Jesus, let’s pause for a moment to recognize something sacred: Christ is truly present among us. He’s here in our prayers, in the Scriptures proclaimed, in the Mass, in the sacraments—especially in the Eucharist. He’s also here in the smiles, the kindness, and the loving hearts of those sitting right beside us. When we really know that Jesus walks with us wherever we go, it changes how we listen. We start to tune our ears and our hearts for His voice, especially in times of prayer. And if we’re quiet, if we listen closely, sometimes we can sense those gentle words He speaks right into our hearts: “My son, my daughter, I love you so much. I am always with you. Come, follow me, and together our hearts will become one—one with our Father in Heaven and the Holy Spirit.”
