I ask you to consider that our Lord Jesus Christ is your true head and that you are a member of his body. - ST. JOHN EUDES

In these times of uncertainty, anxiety, and fear, we need to focus on what truly matters. And maybe it is better to say we need to focus on who truly matters.

As St. John Eudes says, our Lord is our “true head.” Jesus is our Good Shepherd, the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6). We are called to be members of His body, the Church. As members, each of us has a role to play, a job to do to build up His earthly kingdom. Every single one of us matters, to our Lord, to each other, and to the Church.

If you haven’t told yourself you are awesome yet today, tell yourself now. It’s not wrong to remind ourselves that we are good and worthy and loveable, as we work out our sainthood. Think about it for a minute—you are created and loved by the God of the universe…indeed, YOU ARE AWESOME! Set Jesus as your head, make Him your priority today and every day, share your gifts-do your part-and the world “will know we are Christians by our love.”

Jesus, I trust in you.
