Prayer for the week:
  The Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord. Make me an instrument of thy peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen 
I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life  

In Lewis Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland, Alice comes to a fork in the road and sees Cheshire Cat in a tree. She asks Cheshire Cat, "Which road do I take?" Where do you want to go? He replies. "I don’t know” says Alice. Then Cheshire Cat says, “Then it doesn’t matter which road you take.” In real life, it does matter which road you take. Jesus said to his disciples “I Am the Way, the Truth, and The Life.” What does it mean to follow Jesus daily as a disciple? Which road are you on today? Is it the road that leads to following Christ?
