For the past 3 nights I have been going to a parish mission. Basically it was a mini retreat held over 3 nights. There was Eucharistic Adoration, Confession, Prayer, and talks. The speaker was the priest I had met last year who was present for my mother. He is a knowledgeable and kind person, so I knew I would enjoy what he had to say. He focused on the Gospel of John chapter 14 – specifically verse 6 in which Jesus says that He is the way, the truth, and the life. The priest expanded on those 3 attributes. He went deeper into what each one meant. At the same time, he simplified the concepts this way: We need to have faith 1. That God exists 2. That Jesus is God 3. That God loves me 4. That He has gone to prepare a place. Sounds easy, but we all know it’s not. That’s what God’s grace is for. We receive more of God’s grace the more we try to have faith. So it’s a continuous cycle. I appreciated the priest’s ideas and it was very good to see him again.

I Found God today learning more about Him.
