Today, I reaffirm my trust in Jesus, who has done for me on the cross what I could not do for myself

Our trust must be in God even when we don’t understand everything we are going through.

If we do the right thing, we will not only find the life we long for but will be a positive influence on others as well.

God is kind and good, and His love has no limit.  God pays attention to us when we are in trouble and He promises to rescue us. The great faith that we need to develop is to trust that “when the time is right” God’s help will be there for us.

When we are being taught something new, we often feel overwhelmed by the process we must follow. We may shy away from learning about something by telling ourselves or others, “I can’t” or, “This or that is impossible for me.” We need to remind ourselves that with time and determined effort we can succeed, as many before us have. 

Saint Patrick was surely a man of action, not just words.  He knew how to put into practice the little slogan we hear so often, “Don’t just talk the talk but walk the walk.” We too are each given gifts by God to be used to make a positive difference in the lives of people who are in need today.  God promises us His Spirit as He puts His agenda before us today.
