“Find rest in Me”
Are you stressed with the busyness of life? We are always busy with many things every day. We tend to have this urgency to go, go, go and seem to have more things added to our plates. Along the way, we sense a yearning in us to connect again, to find deeper meaning again.

Jesus, our Friend and Companion, desires to carry our heavy burdens of life with us. We need to trust that we are never alone as we walk through each happy and sad moment of life.

Let us enter into a quiet time of prayer and allow Jesus’ words to comfort us and give us the inner rest and peace we truly need.

Question for reflection:
1) What is my response to Jesus’ gentle invitation?

“Loving Jesus above all”
When we strive to love Jesus above all by living His values and ways, it is possible that our family members and friends might not understand or even support us. What are we going to do then? Will we forsake Jesus and please our family members by doing what they want us to do? When we choose Jesus as our number 1, we are called to have His same goal, which is to love by being kind and generous to the needs of those who are most in need. Today, let us love Jesus with our whole heart, mind and strength.
