Saint Pius of Pietrelcina

Our faith, our baptism, has been entrusted to each one of us to keep the flame burning brightly.
How do we live our lives as Christians? Pope Francis says about this gospel that the light we find in Jesus’ teachings comes from our love for the poor and for our neighbor. This commitment, Francis says, takes place in our daily lives and in the here and now. “Never put off the good,” Francis reminds us. “The good is today, and if you do not do it today, tomorrow it will not be there. Do not conceal the good for tomorrow.”
Loving Jesus, light the flame of my baptism today. Help me to use it to be aware of your presence burning in my heart. Teach me to carry that light into the world and share it with others, ‘so those who enter may see the light.’
