Blessed is the Kingdom

The Kingdom of God is Within You

There Are No Spectator Seats

Yesterday, I was reminded by my fellow blogger friend Molly of how important it is for each of us to give ourselves fully in the Eucharist each time we gather as the Body of Christ. It doesn’t matter whether we are the happy or sad, whether we are helping others who are struggling or are being propped up by others. The important thing is that we bring our lives, in whatever state they may be in, and offer them as a sacrifice to God.

Molly’s blogpost yesterday says this beautifully as she reflects upon her own participation in the Divine Liturgy,

My faith, my actions, affect everyone. There are times I press forward, playing a part in propelling the body of Christ as a whole toward salvation and times when I, all limp and exhausted, am carried ahead solely by the prayers and selflessness of others.
