Hardened hearts … so difficult to break through that barrier. Father please pray for adult children and their children to return to our holy Catholic faith.
Good morning father and thank you for your morning reflection which I listen to each day on my way to work. In your reflection, you mentioned the human need for physical touch. It is so important for us as Catholics to create boundaries and adhere to those boundaries in relationship to physical touch so as to not fall into sin.
I used to be a nurse RN. And we learned that if a newborn baby does not get any touch or holding by anyone after it is born, it will not survive. Touch is necessary for them to live and thrive. That’s why they tell parents of premature babies in the NICU , and nurses do also, to touch these small babies so they know you are there and they are comforted and talk to them. Human touch is necessary in our lives. Yes Father as you said. Hugs for all people and elderly people that may be lonely can be very helpful and healing for them. A hug or a reassuring touch on the hand can do so much. People have become so hesitant since Covid. You can sense this separation, distancing in stores and supermarkets, people are less likely to engage with people and just want to get in and out. Our society has changed so much. But in this electronic and texting world we need that human component of person to person communication, caring and love.
Harden not your heart when life is hard. Trust the Lord as He walks with you through the difficult times. Faith is our response to God’s grace. Encouragement and Accountability with and from others is key. Christian Community is a gift. Be intentional with your Piety, Study and Apostolic Action. Build Christian Community with Jesus at the center of your life and theirs. Trust the Lord. 🙏❤️🔥🕊️🌿📿👣 Thank you Fr. Burke. Buen Camino and Ultreya.
I grew up in a family where we didn't hug. My mother hated it. But I'm a hugger anyway. And these days, so many of us need affection and a hug. If I sense a hug is going too far for some people, I look for something beautiful in that person and try to tell him about it.
Good morning, Fr. Burke. Thank you for daily messages. God bless you always. † 🙏⛪💝
