“We must often draw the comparison between time and eternity.  This is the remedy of all our troubles.  How small will the present moment appear when we enter that great ocean.”  St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

Homily Reflection Questions:

“If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you.”  Rom. 8:11

When do you remember the Spirit first dwelling in you and how did that change your life in the near future?

Have you ever lost this experience of the Spirit?  For how long?  What was that experience like?

“My yoke is easy; my burden is light.”  Mt. 11:30

Share with a friend or loved one how God’s easier yoke saved you from the burden and limitations of life in the ‘flesh’.
