The Hidden Apostolate
An interior life is vitally integral to the work we are entrusted with.
Power in Weakness
My last sabbatical reflection takes us into the theme of power in weakness. I learned from my first years on CCO staff that God equips the called. We are not capable to carry out God’s work on our own human weakness; it is only by God’s goodness and grace that we are able to do anything. God uses the little we are and turns it into something great. Humility and greatness go hand in hand. It’s something I’ve aspired to live out. God has a great calling for our lives. He will provide the way through it all!
Do Not Fear
Every great calling has its challenges. We will have to overcome our obstacles of fear. It is common, especially those called to ministry. It comes from our insecurities, other people and events, or even the enemy of our soul. I’ve felt the fear of rejection, fear of what others may think of me, and the fear that God will not provide, to name a few. This third sabbatical reflection revolves around Isaiah 43: God exhorts us to have trust despite our fears. God gave me ample amount of times to pray with this passage and put it into practice. It reminds me to have faith in God because love always wins.
