LEADING US ON

LEADING US ON


Jesus is our
BIGGEST CHEERLEADER=he went
Through it all


He is LEADING US ON
Through our trials
During this life


“Do you BELIEVE NOW?” John 16:31


Today we REMEMBER Jesus=
For his life=his death=
And his RESURRECTION


And we remember ALL
Those who died in wars
OVER the years=
So that we could LIVE FREE


And we REMEMBER three SAINTS
Who we commemorate today=
Saint Bede-the VENERABLE=
A great scholar and theologian=
Saint Gregory VII=an influential POPE=
And Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi=
An Italian CARMELITE nun=gifted
With heavenly visions


They are all
LEADING US ON
In faith


“See if there
Is any offensive way
In me


And LEAD ME
In the way everlasting” Psalm 139:24


“The wolf
Will live with the lamb
The leopard will lie down
With the goat


The calf and the lion
And the yearling together


And a little child
WILL LEAD THEM” Isaiah 11:6


Jesus asks us the question=
“Do you believe me now?”


And we all do=because
He has talked the talk
And WALKED THE WALK


He taught us all
How to LIVE IN FAITH=
He is
LEADING US ON


We all CONTINUE our
Journey=wherever we are going
As we WALK BY FAITH


“For we LIVE BY FAITH=
Not by sight” 2 Corinthians 5:7


“But my righteous one
Will LIVE BY FAITH
And I take
No pleasure
In the one=who shrinks back” Hebrews 10:38


“In the same way
FAITH by itself=
If it is-
Not accompanied
By action=is dead” James 2:17


We OPEN UP our hearts
To God=with trust=
To the small SIGNS of God
Along the way


When we STRUGGLE with our faith-
Jesus takes our hand-
Accepts our efforts-
Strengthens our BELIEFS
And eagerly keeps
LEADING US ON


He will always
LEAD US ONWARD


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LEADING GOD THE FATHER!
