RULE OF LIFE
Our Real Gift
We tend to forget that our real gift is not so
much what we can do, but who we are. The
real question is not “What can we offer each
other?” but “Who can we be for each
other?” No doubt, it is wonderful when we can
repair something for a neighbor, give helpful
advice to a friend, offer wise counsel to a
colleague, bring healing to a patient or
announce good news to a parishioner, but
there is a greater gift than all of this. It is the gift
of our own life that shines through all we do. As
I grow older, I discover more and more that the
greatest gift I have to offer is my own joy of
living, my own inner peace, my own silence
and solitude, my own sense of well-being.
Your Spiritual Journey
1. Where are you spiritually right
now? Describe your
relationship with God.
2. Describe some circumstances
in which you have seen God
at work in your life lately.
3. How is God inviting and
challenging you to grow –
right now and/or over this next
year?
Your Rule of Life
1. What’s the big picture? What is
your life mission and why?
2. What are the highlights of this
rule of life for you? What is
new? What are the updates?
3. What are you most looking
forward to? What do you think
you will find most challenging?
4. How can we pray for you?
Share encouragements & suggestions.
