Just as Jesus gave his healing and liberating power to the man possessed by the evil spirit, we too are called to share our gifts and talents with others in need.
By approaching our beliefs with humility and openness, we can foster a spirit of understanding and unity, rather than division and conflict.
Outward rituals and appearances are not enough to please God; what matters most is the condition of the heart and one's relationship with Him.
Our gifts and abilities are to serve God and others, rather than hiding them out of fear or laziness.
Be ready and vigilant in our spiritual lives.
Stand firm in our faith and speak out against injustice, even in the face of adversity.
True growth and transformation come from within, from a deep examination of our own flaws and desires.
"Do not grieve, for the Lord's time is always near. Pray always, that you enter not into temptation." St. Monica
