Father Jim’s Daily Reflection

Father Jim Radloff

Up at 4:30 am each day for prayer, Father Jim soon discovered that others were also seeking to start their day with a short inspirational quote from the Bible. So taking advantage of Social Media, he began sharing with others the fruits of his early morning prayer amongst Sacred Scriptures. Using Lectio Divina with the daily readings from the Catholic Mass, Father Jim was now presenting a reflection that could help people throughout their day. We are happy to share these thoughts with you.

Feast of Saint Matthias, Apostle

(John 15:11-12) Jesus said, “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.”
 
I counted. Pope Francis used the word “joy” 50 times just in the introduction of his Apostolic Exhortation “The Gospel of Joy”. A good way to know if a person or community of believers is fully Christian? Their love and JOY!
