- IGNITE FAITH

 

 

 

 

How have I been living out my faith?

 

We are invited to become aware of the movement of the Holy spirit in our lives and look at how we have been responding to the promptings of the Spirit.

 

To what extent have we lived out and failed to live out our faith, to reflect on the different areas of our lives - at home, in school, at work, at church and in society.

 

We want to carry out this reflection in light of Gospel illumination in a prayerful manner.

 

And we invoke Mother Mary who throughout her life sought to do the will of God.  We pray that through her intercession we can imitate her example and learn to live our faith authentically to become a more evangelizing and missionary church.

 

When Thomas was ignited in his faith with his personal encounter with the Lord after the Resurrection, he was ready to be sent forth and be witnesses for Christ.  Jesus gave them the Holy Spirit and sent them out to witness.
