What would our response be if we were challenged with the above question? We are invited to be reborn in the Spirit. When we are moved by the Spirit, we see the world from a different perspective. Things that mattered in the past, would not bother us anymore. Our way of life would impact the world we live in. People would be attracted to and challenged by the way we speak, act, and live. We should strive to live in the Spirit on a daily basis. Whenever we fall, the four-step prayer tool and the ten-finger prayer declarations would help to bring our focus back to God. There can be physically, emotionally, and spiritually strenuous and tough days that we go through. Holy Mass, Confession, devotions and prayers would help to lift us back onto our feet. The holy rosary too is a powerful prayer tool as we weave a garland of roses (Hail Mary’s) for our Blessed Mother. Let us keep making efforts so that our lives may be fragrantly beautiful at all times.

Abba Father, may we hold on to your grace. Amen.
