“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty of which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.” – Blessed Pope John Paul II
As missionaries our journey towards the Lord does not stop. If anything the journey continues even further. We are called to be Holy. We are called to seek for the Lord in all our dreams of happiness. The Lord not only waits for us, but we are called to remain patient and wait for His perfect timing. We are called to see the beauty of Christ in everything. The Lord urges us to remember that it is only Him who can fill our emptiness because it is He who is the fullness of life. Do not be afraid to open your heart to the Lord.
As much uncertainty I’ve felt within the past two years of being an MV I’ve realized that I can’t journey alone. I need my brothers and sisters in the CFC-Youth community, my family, my friends and most importantly I need Christ because I am weak and I am nothing without Him. Blessed John Paul II writes beautifully of how it is the Lord we need. If we have God in our lives, it is He who fills every corner, strengthens every weakness, carries every cross, and fills the uncertainty of our journey with His plans.
Dominus Est. Benedictus Deus in Saecula
