Marks of a fruitful faith

Easter Thursday

Luke 24:35-48

In this Easter Week let's turn our attention to Peter who gave witness to Jesus in an authoritative and compelling way.  The popes, filled with the Holy Spirit, also attested in this way.

What is in the very heart of Peter may also be in the hearts that Jesus wants from all of us.  It's not simply the length of our days in the Church as Catholics that marks of our name as Catholics but in the following ways:

1. In our intense knowledge of Jesus - by allotting a significant portion of our lives to knowing him and the truths of our faith which are deeply grounded in him. 

2. In the love that is planted in our hearts - the things that lie in the heart should be the same as Jesus' heart.   They manifest in our priorities in life, either for God or against him.

3. In our capacity to discern the scheme of things - coupled with our life's choices, we are faced with the truth of our being whether our knowledge of God or lack of it has borne fruit or stifled our spiritual growth. 

Commit to knowing, loving, and serving Jesus in the world.
