Rise Up People Of God - The Anointing Of The Holy Spirit Awaits Us!

The person who desires to become a sign must be dedicated to sacrifice, even as the aged Simeon prophesied of Jesus: "This child ... will be a sign of contradiction." 
The person who wants to be a sign will share in the destiny of the Virgin Mary: "And a sword will pierce your soul!" 
A sign must be steady and bold, luminous and watchful, indifferent to opinions, 
well rooted and unshakeable, 
capable of facing storms and long nights, trials and dangers. 
And if the Lord chooses you to become a sign in this present time, will you accept or refuse? 

Moses and Elijah wanted to escape, but God's grace came upon them and these powerful men had to submit, for the Spirit of God was working in them. 


from Prayers of Hope — Words of Courage  by Cardinal Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan p. 27
