Witness

Today more than any other day, or any other point in time, we are called to witnesses of truth. The times in which we live are truly trying and very stressful. Many seek release from all the stress in many different ways. Unfortunately so many of us have become entrapped in a life of routine; the world offers us so many different ways to relieve our tension and stress. Our release may come in the form of music, a TV show, a night out at a ballgame, or dining out with family or friends. Whatever the case may be, let us never loose our focus on where true peace will be found. True and lasting peace will only be found in the presence of the Lord. He alone can fill us with the joy our souls long for. The world is quickly passing away, along with all the empty promises, temptations and attachments; all of which have seem to become the idols of our lives. Spending time with the Lord in prayer, meditation, or especially before the Blessed Sacrament, will feed a tired and weary soul. In doing so, we will be in tune with the will of God; fulfilling our calling to be his witnesses as we live out our daily lives. The time is now to become a true and faithful servant of our Lord. Let us be his light of peace and joy; satisfy those who have a need or desire, and set the world ablaze with his love and fire.
