JESUS REACHES OUT TO THE PEOPLE WE MEET ON A DAILY BASIS

Here’s a lovely quote to think about today.  It is from a Gabriel Bossis,  a spiritual writer.  She relates how Jesus spoke to her one day during her prayer time.  He said “You were touched when you read I was in the gospels hidden in the sacrament of the word. But how much more I am present in the sacrament of human life.” Jesus continued. “Look for me everywhere. I’ll let myself be captured with such joy! And when you have found me, give me to others. There are people I am waiting to reach only through you.”

This quote I share because it sums up quite beautifully why we need” to live each day well”.   Jesus is telling us how important we are to Him, and how through our daily, ordinary, routine schedules, Jesus encounters people He needs to meet.  People he says, “ I am waiting to reach only through you.”

However we have to keep in mind one important factor.  Only Jesus knows who these people are.  Therefore we have the obligation to be nice to everyone we meet in our day. Jesus trusts us to help him this very day!  Are we ready for the task?
