Christ Reaches All
"There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us." (Mark 9:38-40)

"Wisdom breathes life into her children", words from our first reading today they take us into our Psalm reminding us who try to follow the law of the Lord will find peace. We are blessed to live in the Sacramental life of our Catholic Church embracing our lives in the Eucharist.
We who have faith know God can move mountains by the very power of His love. Jesus Christ touches the hearts of humanity, even those who do not understand His Church. Mighty deeds can be performed in the name of the LORD. Jesus welcomes all who unite in His mercy, His love, and His blessings.
For those who have been given more there is still more expected (Matthew 25:29). Our openness, our prayer and instruction to invite others into the gift of the Eucharist is part of our discipleship. Grace is available to the interior disposition and is effective by free consent of the will. Jesus seems to rejoice in those who simply acknowledge Him and trust in the mighty deeds that can be performed in His name. There is much to be done in building the Kingdom of Heaven upon earth.
With Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, can we see Christ's light in our brothers and sisters?
May Wisdom breathe life into us. Amen.
