Thanks to my friend, KB! My inspiration from this morning to write a post about the new liturgical year is going to come to fruition.
May God’s blessings be with each of us as we begin this new yearly journey of faith. As the Advent season begins, our journey of faith and understanding of Christ’s love will hopefully continue to deepen, but more importantly our actions and thoughts will be re-centered and focused towards being true disciples of Christ.
How can we be true disciples of Christ? How do we need to change to show God’s love to others?
These are not easy questions to answer more less follow. How many times do you find yourself thinking negative thoughts or putting someone else down in your thoughts or spoken words? How often do you get frustrated at a co-worker, student, bystander, or family member? Are there people that you struggle to be around because they have hurt someone else or you, they don’t seem to want to help themselves, or some other reason? Does your face show frustration and stress or does it show love and care?
What other questions do we need to ask ourselves in order to discern our true discipleship and calling?
How can you develop and continue to grow in God’s love and be a beacon of Christian light this Advent season forward?
My new journey of faith and Christian living will hopefully include the following:
- Stopping to reflect and spend more time with God and spend more time in personal reflection.
- Seeking opportunities to learn, pray, and be present with our Lord.
- Smile and replace negative thoughts and comments with positive ones.
- Spend time with family and friends.
- Share in the joys and losses of family and friends.
- Send notes and stay in better communication with friends and family.
What will you do to celebrate and reset your faith journey for the new year?
God’s blessings be with you this new liturgical year and Advent season.
