    Who am I building up?
    God has given us His promise of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit sanctifies us and makes us holy, but the gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to us so that we can participate in the work of God in the world. At His Ascension, Jesus promised the Holy Spirit so that we could continue His work here on earth.

    God hear my prayers this Mother’s Day. Having two sons with special needs is overwhelming at times because they require so much from me. As a single mother things are difficult. I keep faith in you Jesus even as I struggle to pay rent, and as I struggle to buy groceries for my sons. Every month is a battle. I want to give up yet God gives me strength. Faith is my strength.❤️❤️

    BINGO! Father Mike hit the nail on the head: Gifts and talents we are given are always for somebody else. I am a retiring math prof, and I realized during a grad school math lecture that knowing how to write an algebra proof was much like masturbating. Yup. Pleasurable to me because I "got it" but helpful to no one else. I was surrounded in my social circle by people who were actively helping people, and I realized how much more I admired those people than I did the math prof at the board who was passionately writing a proof of something I do not even remember. I decided I would get a degree in education so I could help someone. Being a broken human, I have not always been helpful, but everyday I pray that the Holy Spirit will enable me to "feed the sheep." Occasionally, God lets me know I succeeded and I know true happiness at that moment...the only time I experience true happiness. God bless all of you.

    I'm sorry your students don't know their priest-uncle better. My uncle is a priest but to me, he's my uncle first. He's was always wonderful at playing games with us when we were little. As we got older he would take us to the movie theater and on canoe trips. Even now, when I see him we talk about music and cars and just about life. If I'm talking to others who know him, I still always refer to him as "my uncle, Fr..." Because that's what he is for me. My uncle.
