When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: β€œWhy do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

A 🧡on being ready. 1/6 Approaching the end of the liturgical year the Gospels take on an urgent tone. The call to prepare becomes more & more urgent. It’s a call to actively look for the presence of God in our times when it’s easy to surrender to for despair & hopelessness.

5/6 So, when the bridegroom arrives, some of them are ready and some are not. The gospel ends with a call to: β€œSo stay awake, because you do not know either the day or the hour.’”

6/6 In our challenging times it’s a call not to give in to despair, but to stay alert and awake to the presence of Christ in the midst of our challenging times. Where is Christ calling you to be awake to his presence in your life today?

Writing my prayer tweet now, because it is quite hard work working out what is going on on the pitch! @altrinchamfc

A 🧡on forgiveness. 1/6 Today we’re celebrating the feast of the Dedication of our Oratory. It’s a feast that call us back to reflect of the core of our faith and our monastic life. Every year it seems to offer me something from the core of our faith to reflect on.

5/6 It's tempting to refuse forgiveness, it gives us a superficial feeling of control when we are vulnerable. Forgiveness asks more of us than that. It doesn’t remove the pain we experience. It asks us to acknowledge the pain, and still risk to risk trying again.

6/6 That risks more hurt. Yet to refuse forgiveness imprisons us and ties us to the past. If we want to build the Kingdom together our only hope is to embrace this challenging and risky call as much as we can. Where are you being called to consider forgiveness today?
