Notes for your week

Faith can be both sword and shield. Sometimes we need it in its defensive colours to protect ourselves and all we believe in. But on many other occasions, faith has to be wielded as weapon for advancement and victory. And to help us in the week ahead to think about faith as action, let’s reflect on these questions:

When we give to charity do we feel pleasure that we have changed the world for the better?

When we are talking to others of the Church are we defensive or are we confident of it benefit to the world?

If you are facing a problem at the moment, is it better to seek faith’s protection or is our faith calling us to come out fighting’?
