WordOnFire.org – This website is produced by Bishop Robert Barron and offer s audio and wr itten commentary on a wide range of topics that are related to faith and Church. www.catholicwomenpreach.org. This site has a reflection on the Scripture readings each Sunday.

Pope Francis The freely given gi of grace is one of the great convic ons that the Church has come firmly to hold. It is so clearly expressed in the word of God that there can be no ques on of it. Like the supreme commandment of love, this truth should affect the way we live, for it flows from the heart of the Gospel and demands that we not only accept it intellectually but also make it a source of contagious joy. Yet we cannot celebrate this free gi of the Lord’s friendship unless we realize that our earthly life and our natural abili es are his gi . We need “to acknowledge jubilantly that our life is essen ally a gi , and recognize that our freedom is a grace. This is not easy today, in a world that thinks it can keep something for itself, the fruits of its own crea vity or freedom”. Rejoice & Be Glad paragraph #55
