CHRIST NEEDS US

 

“Christ Needs Us”

 

All good human relationships

Are based on 3 things

Respect, trust, and need

 

This is true of

Husbands and wives

Parents and their children

And friends for friends

 

And it is true

Of our relationship with Jesus Christ

 

Jesus doesn’t coerce us

Jesus doesn’t compel us

To obey him

He allows us

To be free

 

He does this

Because he loves us

And because he needs us

 

When he was alive

He needed people

And today

He needs us

More than ever

 

He needed his Mother Mary

To be born

He needed his Father Joseph

To provide for him

He needed John the Baptist

To baptize him

And he needed his Apostles

To teach the word of God to

And to spread his word

After he was gone

 

But the job

Is only ½ done

And it is up to us

To continue

The Great Commission

And to spread the word of God

All over the world

 

It is true

 

What the poet wrote

He has no hands

But your hands

He has no feet

But your feet

He has no lips

But your lips

And he has no love

But your love

 

I need God and Our Lord

In my life

I can’t imagine a day without him

But he needs us too

 

Jesus is our friend

 

How can we respond?

I was baptized in to the Catholic Faith in on this day—February 6th—1955—my Mom and Dad’s 1st wedding anniversary.  Their first dates were to the Fatima Novena.
