We’re always glad to have the Spirit-of-Truth join us in sharing Spiritual-Highlights the Lord-of-Host has encountered from within His-Living-Words. There’s loads of worship being shared that reveals an unprecedented search for understanding. Our Lord’s passion to preserve His Father’s will for all Creation can only be understood from within the Body-of-Christ, our Church. His Eucharistic ceremony highlights the understanding of His last meal on Earth when Christ offered His Body and Blood to His Disciples in the form of Bread and Wine.

Without Faith people cannot comprehend how the Bread and Wine was consecrated by Jesus to become His own Body and Blood that would be shed for the Forgiveness-of-Sins; Evils that hamper Life, Love and the Pursuit-of-Salvation. Jesus taught his followers how to Praise, Please and Honor God so His Spirit could develop their character; souls filled with His Thanksgiving-Spirit, Hearts filled with Love and Minds Redeemed from Sinfulness.

I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.

Many Parts in One Body. For by the grace given to me I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than one ought to think, but to think soberly, each according to the measure of faith that God has apportioned. For as in one body we have many parts, and all the parts do not have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ and individually parts of one another.

Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them: if prophecy, in proportion to the faith; if ministry, in ministering; if one is a teacher, in teaching; if one exhorts, in exhortation; if one contributes, in generosity; if one is over others, with diligence; if one does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. (Romans 12:1-8 NABRE)

This message was gathered into prayer in dedication to Father Ajo, my friend and Spiritual advisor since his service began at St Mathews Church in San Mateo, CA. Father Ajo, our Brother in Christ will be returning to Rome this week after having shared his Love and Inspiration with our community; it has been an honor to Lector morning Mass with him and hear his divine-teachings going out into our hearts with Cheerfulness.
