 More Than Victors!


Working together, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain.  For he says: 

         “In an acceptable time I heard you, 

         and on the day of salvation I helped you.” 

Behold, now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. We cause no one to stumble in anything, in order that no fault may be found with our ministry;  on the contrary, in everything we commend ourselves as ministers of God, through much endurance, in afflictions, hardships, constraints,  beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, vigils, fasts;  by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, in a holy spirit, in unfeigned love,  in truthful speech, in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness at the right and at the left;  through glory and dishonor, insult and praise. We are treated as deceivers and yet are truthful;  as unrecognized and yet acknowledged; as dying and behold we live; as chastised and yet not put to death;  as sorrowful yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing and yet possessing all things. 

2 Corinthians 6:1–10

Don’t leave the Spirit at home or in church. Be conscious of his presence; attempt to listen even amidst the noise and frantic pace of life. When you hear him, or sense his prompting or gentle nudge, act on it. Don’t hesitate, do what he wants you to do. If you do this consistently, the Spirit will become your intimate friend and he will make something beautiful out of your life.       Pope Joh...
