Many Catholic Christians keep seeking the Lord. And each weekend, as we come to our parish church to attend the Mass, Christ becomes available to us. We receive him, and we go and give Him to others. We are go-givers.

Each day, as we go through our tragedies and bitter experiences, Jesus stands by our side. He shows his face to us so that we may look at him and find hope. He extends his hands to reach us to say to us, “I notice all that you are going through, and I am here for you.”. I love you and care about you.”

The Christian life is about one thing, living for the Lord. St Paul is explicit on this idea, "None of us lives for oneself, and no one dies for oneself. For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's, he says.

If there is an ultimate end of our being Christian disciples here on earth, it is to become trees of life whose fruits are desirable because they give life to all who eat them. We do this considering what Jesus did for us, coming to give his life for the life of the world.
