Let us be enlivened by our faith
One of the joys of engaging with Christian converts is listening to what drew them to belief in Jesus. Often they’ll talk about faith with a refreshing enthusiasm and energy. For those of us who grew up with faith, it might come across as a little off-putting at first, but when we listen to them with open hearts we might find our own faith enlivened.
In today’s readings, we get a sense of what it was like for the disciples to hear the Good News from Jesus. It wasn’t a tradition passed down for thousands of years to them, but something fresh and new. What excitement they must have had. How enlivened must others have felt when they listened to them.
Today, let’s pray that we might hear the Word of God and be enlivened as if it were born anew again in us.
