Sainthood didn’t stop with medieval martyrs or ancient apostles. It’s not frozen in stained glass or buried in church history books. God is still raising up saints right now. There are ordinary people doing extraordinary things through faith. Some lived just decades ago, and some walked through airports we walk through.

Sometimes, we need to step away from the world to truly see the heart of God. We all get caught up in the everyday. But stepping away, even briefly, can change everything. It gives us perspective, and it helps us to hear God’s voice again.

When Jesus gave the Apostles the Holy Spirit, he also gave them the mission of the Church. Therefore, we were given the same mission when we received the Holy Spirit in the sacraments.

When we drink of the water of God's love, it allows the Holy Spirit to move through us, and bring life into the world.

As we go into this Jubilee Year we are called to be Pilgrims of Hope. Advent and Christmas are seasons of journeys and pilgrimages. It is also a season of contrasts, between light and dark, have's and have-not's.

How many of us immediately answer the call of God without even taking a moment to discern? Just say, your will, not mine.
