Life in the Spirit

Monday’s Reflection

Ah, Holy Spirit, I plant my feet
into the soil of the living God.
Lord, let the pattern of my life,
the course of my days,
Be inexplicable apart from the intervention
of the Risen One.
Let Jesus Christ be the sole justification
for my life.
- Michel Bouttier

Tips for Your Spirit:
Why Saints? Observing saints more closely reveals that they were ordinary people just like us. What set them apart was their life purpose. More than anything else, they wanted to know God. So despite their faults and frailties, they have much to teach us. Learn from Saints.
Saints, Inc.:
