Everyone who suffers for the sake of their brothers and sisters salvation is living the life of a true disciple of my adored son, Jesus. Your acceptance of His truth and example carries with it a responsibility to serve in God’s redemptive work. It is not sufficient to proclaim your belief and to not live that faith. Redemption is found through acceptance of the Christ and His merciful forgiveness and through your willing service in His name. You must be willing to do more than put on the face of a believer. You must allow Jesus to live within you and through you. The road is not easy and you will fall but His Sacred Heart will give you shelter and nourishment. You will be asked to let go of the many things which bind you to the world so that you can grow in simplicity and humility. The world needs committed disciples now more than ever before. The bride needs them and the masses who cry out in pain need them. The Christ is comfort to the afflicted but only if they can hear of Him and witness His love through your actions. Pray for direction so that you can gain the strength and courage to accept the persecutions which will accompany your discipleship. Find the wisdom contained in Holy Scriptures and receive the Sacraments often so you may fully live with Christ within you. Read the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 28 verses 18 to 20 and keep your faith alive, vibrant and visible.
