FEAST OF JOHN DE BRÉBEUF AND ISAAC JOGUES, PRIESTS, MARTYRS, AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Faith lived large and small
Much is expected of Christians. We are entrusted with helping to establish God’s reign of peace and justice where sins are forgiven, and we are commissioned to bring good news to the poor. Courage and generosity are essential qualities for living the Christian life. The North American martyrs, whose missionary efforts among the Huron and Iroquois people eventually led to their deaths, possessed these qualities on a grand and sweeping scale. Our everyday moments of courage and generosity may be much more humble and focused, but no less efficacious and Christian. Recognize the value of your own little acts of faith to do and say the right thing so that you can more fully appreciate the mighty deeds done for the greater glory of God.TODAY’S READINGS: Romans 6:12-18; Luke 12:39-48 (475)
“Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.”
