“It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.”
-Galatians 2:20
Today’s Reflection:
Today we celebrate the conversion of St. Paul. His powerful experience of Jesus Christ turned him from a persecutor of Christians to one of the greatest evangelizers of Christianity. Like him, we are called to meet Christ and grow in union with Him. How can you meet Him today? In what ways can you allow Him to live more powerfully in you?
We recently received a scathing letter from a Holy Yoga instructor who took us to task for our position against the practice of “Christian yoga.” She believes that because a man in her class asked her to help him accept Jesus as his savior, this proves that God is working in her classes. Is this true? Yes! But not for the reasons she thinks . . .
It appears that the controversial singer, Katy Perry, who claimed as recently as last year that she no longer identifies as a Christian, says she had a change of heart after meeting with Pope Francis in April.
This beautiful Rosary witness was sent to us by Sue Walker, a Women of Grace member from St. Joan of Arc parish in Boca Raton, Florida.
A reader of our blog gave us permission to print a moving glimpse into her conversion from the New Age, along with an excerpt from Pope Francis’ “The Joy of the Gospel”, and asks us all to remember to pray for those who are caught up in these false beliefs.
