Strength in Scripture.

The Paschal Mystery shows us that God is merciful. He sacrificed his only son to offer us eternal life. As Psalm 145: 8-9 states, “The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in mercy. The Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made.” As humans, we are a central part of God’s creation. We are responsible for caring for, catering to, and appreciating the other aspects of God’s creation. We are made in the image and likeness of God. Our work has special value and we possess great dignity. The Lord created us each with individual souls. We all have a purpose in life, each, like our souls, is different. We must embrace our individual gifts that we have been given. If we refuse to offer our talents to God and those around us, we will not live up to our potential as prominent components in the workings of this planet that we inhabit. 

Seven Places to Find God

Opportunity.

Opportunities come before you with every question posed. Constantly you are cluttered with decisions, like the summer night sky is cluttered with fireflies. Remember, you are the master of your own destiny. Every decision you have made has contributed to making you who you are today. And YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.! As you realize your own personal beauty, do not overlook the beauty of the world around you. The most beautiful places are the seven places where you can find God. 

Nature is the Lord manifested on Earth.

You are the means for God to reach others.

These Others, also, are channels for God to reach you.

Prayer and Scripture help you uphold your relationship with God.

In addition to these are Silence and the Eucharist, which are the best ways to be one with God.

Reflect on these seven places. Use these outlets to help your decision making skills. Again, these opportunities are all around you. Do not take advantage of what you have been given. Be grateful and NEVER forget to give thanks to God.
