The readings this week provide us with two very important pieces of advice for our quest to answer the call to holiness. The first comes from Isaiah. He reminds us to “Be strong, fear not.” The second piece of advice comes from Christ, Himself. He told the man of in the Gospel story today, “Be opened.” As we strive to answer the call to be saints, we need to be strong and without fear or anxiety as we approach the Lord. And, once we are there, we must be open to what He asks of us. So today, Be strong, fear not just simply be open.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Wayne
