As God's creatures, we have a two-fold responsibility toward our Creator; to pray and to love. We must place our relationship with Christ above absolutely everything else in our lives. We must foster this relationship through our dedication to prayer each and every day. Prayer is a combination of an act of the will and a response to God's grace in our lives. God wants our attention more than anything else. Submission to His will is what He desires of us more than anything.
After we have prayed, we must be people of charity. If our prayer does not evolve into active works for our brothers, it means nothing. What have we done for Christ today? How have we neglected Him? What we do or do not do for others we do or not do for Christ.
Let us pray and love.
In Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
