Maybe Paul gives us a clue about how to let the PRAYER & SONG Holy Spirit enter: by learning to “discern what is LED BY: LIFE TEEN CHOIR 6PM of value” from a heart that is illed with love in- stead of animosity. The practice of discernment is not an easy task but it is something we can make part of our daily meditation. Try it at home, with your own family. Through the daily practice of discernment, we can grow closer to God.
Then we can pray with St. Paul, that our hearts can be illed with love.

STEWARDSHIP: DECEMBER 9, 2018
I am offered both encourage- ment and challenge as I re- lect and prepare for the three “comings” of Christ -His com- ing on Christmas, His daily coming in Mystery, and His Second Coming.
This Advent, let’s turn away from any sinful habits that may have crept in to our lives and turn our hearts back to Christ.
This is what the stewardship way of life is all about - mov- ing closer and closer to Christ, ready to celebrate His birth, with eyes ixed on eternal life with Him. We remain faithful as good stewards of all the gifts He has given us.
Will I remain faithful to Jesus today? RUNNIN’ REVS VS SLAMMIN’ SEMS * BISHOP CARMEN*DR.
