Giving your all

It is Monday of Holy Week! Give it your ALL this week! Jesus gave EVERYTHING for us, so let us return that to Him! If you haven't gone to Confession this Lent, get there before Easter. The greatest way to show love is sacrificing for someone. Whether it be sacrificing your time, pushing through tough circumstances, or loving till it hurts. Sacrifice is love in action. If you haven't tapped into that type of love for Jesus or others this Lent it's not too late! You can still end with great love and receive grace to become closer to Jesus as this year unfolds. Time is precious and it's a gift so let us use it with caution and intention. Let us show God how we cherish this life and want to use it as our stepping stones into the next to live with Him eternally.

These next few days fast and listen well. Take some quiet time to listen to what God is telling you during this time in your life. Where are you on your spiritual path? What things get in the way of you and your relationship with God? Do your job and life duties with intention of love and sacrifice for God and others. Let everything have a purpose. Align yourself every morning with God's will and renew it as the day goes on so you stay with Him.

On the days of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Saturday and Easter show up full force! Participate in the Church celebrations. Put yourself into the different roles of the Gospels to learn more about Jesus and His love. Meditating from the gospel stories from the view of the apostles, versus the view of the Pharisees, versus the view of Mary, Our Blessed Mother. Be present. Love your family with everything you have. Put differences behind and just love.

Giving it our all this week we will also be resurrected from the tomb that tries to keep us in death and sin... but with love we can stand with Jesus and overcome that death!
