Again I Teach through Your Weaknesses

Nancy was returning from a trip. She reflected on how Jesus helped her through some difficult moments and problems. Nancy looked up at the crucifix and said, "Thank You for helping me."

Jesus replied, "Thank you for listening."

Later in the evening Jesus said, "My dearest daughter, please do not be afraid to come to Me. You have done wrong and you have asked for My forgiveness. I forgive you.

"You must be careful not to pass judgement on anyone. I alone am the judge. Again I teach through your weaknesses and I thank you for allowing Me to help other souls through you.

"If at any moment your peace is disturbed, be on guard."

"Do not allow anger or judgements to overtake you. I repeat the words that I have often spoken to you: 'If at any moment your peace is disturbed, be on guard.' I ask you to never be afraid to come to Me, no matter what you have done. If you tell Me you are sorry, then I will forgive you."

Today the Church celebrates : St Wulfric

Faith Letter of James 2,14-24.26.
Friday of the Sixth Week in Ordinary Time

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well," but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Indeed someone might say, "You have faith and I have works." Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works. You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe that and tremble. Do you want proof, you ignoramus, that faith without works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by the works. Thus the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called "the friend of God." See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
