Living 1 John 1 Q&A - Live on YouTube
I offer you this morning the words of St. Josemaria Escriva:
When you open the Holy Gospel, think that what is written there — the words and deeds of Christ — is something that you should not only know, but live. Everything, every point that is told there, has been gathered, detail by detail, for you to make it come alive in the individual circumstances of your life.
—God has called us Catholics to follow him closely. In that holy Writing you will find the Life of Jesus, but you should also find your own life.
You too, like the Apostle, will learn to ask, full of love, “Lord, what would you have me do?...” And in your soul you will hear the conclusive answer, “The Will of God!”
Take up the Gospel every day, then, and read it and live it as a definite rule. This is what the saints have done.
This is exactly what Living 1 John 1 is all about. Living 1Jn1 is an online community for Catholics who want to know and pray the Scriptures better.
It’s about studying the Scriptures so we can pray with them better. It’s about praying with the Scriptures so we can love better.
Missed the announcement and want to know more about this new community? See below.
Already, in the three short weeks since launch, I’ve made improvements and learned so much. That’s one thing (among many) that excites me about this community … that you’re part of its beginnings and its growth. It’s not something the members are just taking part in passively, but something the members are helping create.
Do you have questions about the community? Perhaps you don’t want to learn yet another platform, or wonder if it will just be more noise in your life, or are a little reluctant to take the plunge without knowing more…
I’ll be doing a live Q&A on YouTube tomorrow, August 31, at 3pmET to introduce you to the community and answer all your questions.
I’d love to see you there!
Put it on your calendar!
