PASSION
Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. (Howard Thurman)

MORE FULLY ALIVE.......Faith in the Divine and seeking of His will brings one to a 'more fully alive' state.
SEEK THAT GOOD THAT HE HAS IN MIND............So much peace for those who seek His will. Since He is Love Itself, all actions done in love make us 'more fully alive.' Praise Him.
GO DO IT.............So often, we are called to some very little thing that God wishes us to do...maybe a wave...maybe a touch to someone's arm in comfort...maybe a nod. Yesterday, I passed a priest in shopping...I nodded to him and pointed to his collar...I said: 'Thank you for your calling' He was very comforted...In these days of suffering for those who are good and faithful servants of God and man...painted with the same brush of shame...when they are ones who have not offended.
DO NOT ASK.....God blesses the willing heart. He leads it to where it might serve...or heal...or pray...or console. You will not search long for that 'something' that He would be pleased with.
WHAT DOES THIS DAY BRING?......Each day, we are blessed by numerous graces...some of which we are not fully aware.They are the strengths to do as the Gospel teaches. Let us pray that our inmost self says 'Yes' when that urge to good stirs within. It is not always 'a mighty wind'...more often 'it is a gentle whisper.'
