Here we are looking back at the Via De Cristo Men’s and Women’s 98 weekends with grateful hearts. They truly were GRACE filled. These two weekends, like so many others, were wrapped in prayer, love and with a trust that God would bring people together to do what only He could do, which is to strengthen and grow the of faith all who participated.
Maybe you were a candidate that was there to be the recipient of God's wonderful grace, and observe His mighty power at work around you as you took it all in. Perhaps you were a team member or an individual from the community that participated behind the scenes demonstrating apostolic action as you served so generously helping as needed in countless ways!
Picture yourself like a piece of God’s puzzle that He gently placed exactly where He needed you to be in every in every detail of His master plan. No one participated by chance. Each one answered their call and said yes to Jesus, and as a result, many grew deeper in their walk with God. Others are now equipped with tools to continue their 4th day with a renewed faith to be the light that our world so desperately needs.
Stay the course my dear Brothers and Sisters; God’s not finished yet and neither are we. As a Christian community we have much to do. For example, the fall weekends are already in the making. As you know, it takes many hearts and hands to bring it all together. I invite you to prayerfully consider where your piece of the puzzle might fit in perfectly for the upcoming weekends.
Jesus is counting on all of us. Perhaps He may call upon you to serve in a specific way for the fall weekends. Whatever role that may be, it is a form of Palanca and a way to serve our great God and to share His great love with others. If He does call upon you to serve in some way, what will your answer be? My prayer is that you will say “Here I am Lord … send me”. I promise you will be blessed beyond measure!
God loves you and so do I!
