"Make the choice to rejoice"

The following devotion from the people at the DVO/Pocket Fuel iOS app ( http://dvoapp.com/pQLWbpsT3d ) chimes with the teaching given by Rend Collective in relation to their latest album ("The Art Of Celebration" - see earlier posts). Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Philippians 4:4 (NLT) PHILIPPIANS 4 SERIES - PART 1 Joy is that one emotion we could all do with more of! But often we mistake joy as a result of good fortune when, in fact, it is a choice to be happy... Because 'joy' is a choice! In fact, every emotion we experience is a choice. Do me a favour for the next 5 minutes and pretend you are a successful millionaire. Make sure that every person you encounter knows about your success, accomplishments and wealth. With it, you have the ability to bless and help lots of people. Immerse yourself in the vision of this experience. What does it look like? What does it feel like? Does it feel good? Of course it does! Note that even thoug...

Vocation Sunday 2014

What is your own personal vocation? Spend time today listening to the promptings of the Spirit in your heart. Trust Him. "Each of you has a personal vocation which He has given you for your own joy and sanctity. When a person is conquered by … the fire of His gaze, no sacrifice seems too great to follow Him and give Him the best of ourselves.” Pope Benedict XVI (Thanks to Middlesborough Diocese Youth Mission Team for the following quote + picture) "Let us dispose our hearts therefore to being “good soil”, by listening, receiving and living out the word, and thus bearing fruit. The more we unite ourselves to Jesus through prayer, Sacred Scripture, the Eucharist, the Sacraments celebrated and lived in the Church and in fraternity, the more there will grow in us the joy of cooperating with God in the service of the Kingdom of mercy and truth, of justice and peace.
