#JesusIS Christmas

by 6 Comments

Merry Christmas from all of us at Redeemed Online!

 Thought for Today:

“Take time to be aware that in the very midst of our busy preparations for the celebration of Christ’s birth in ancient Bethlehem, Christ is reborn in the Bethlehems of our homes and daily lives. Take time, slow down, be still, be awake to the Divine Mystery that looks so common and so ordinary yet is wondrously present.” -Edward Hays

Action for Today:

Celebrate Christmas!! Jesus is born!

Prayer for Today:

Lord Jesus, together with the shepherds
we draw near to your Crib.
We contemplate you, wrapped in swaddling cloths
and lying in the manger.

O Babe of Bethlehem,
we adore you in silence with Mary,
your ever-Virgin Mother.
To you be glory and praise for ever,
Divine Savior of the World! Amen.

Christmas Wishes

May your Christmas celebration be one that draws you close to Jesus. God bless you and your family.

#JesusIS Not Safe

by 5 Comments

JesusIS Day Twenty-eight

 Thought for Today:

“People who are obsessed with Jesus aren’t consumed with their personal safety and comfort above all else. Obsessed people care more about God’s kingdom coming to this earth than their own lives being shielded from pain or distress.” – Francis Chan

Action for Today:

Say a rosary today for your family and your upcoming celebrations for Christmas.

Prayer for Today:

Jesus, I so often choose the easy way. Help me to choose you over my comfort. Help me to put you first and take risks in following you. May my family’s celebration of Christmas be centered around you. God I give you everything.

Quote for Today:

“Is he-quite safe?…Who said anything about safe? Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.” – CS Lewis (CLICK TO TWEET)

#JesusIS Hope

JesusIS Day Twenty-six

Thought for Today:

“Wait upon the Lord; be faithful to His commandments; He will elevate your hope, and put you in possession of His Kingdom. Wait upon Him patiently; wait upon Him by avoiding all sin. He will come, doubt it not; and in the approaching day of His visitation, which will be that of your death and His judgment, He will Himself crown your holy hope. Place all your hope in the Heart of Jesus; it is a safe asylum; for he who trusts in God is sheltered and protected by His mercy. To this firm hope, join the practice of virtue, and even in this life you will begin to taste the ineffable joys of Paradise.” -Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

Action for Today:

Hope in Jesus never disappoints. Whatever situations in your life seem hopeless, surrender them to Jesus. He is hope.

Prayer for Today:

Jesus, you are my hope. Help me to trust in both good times and difficult situations in your unfailing love and goodness. I love you. Help me receive you into my heart this Christmas.

Quote for Today:

“Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.” –Saint John XXIII  (CLICK TO TWEET)

Jesus, you are truth. I want to know you. I want to know you as the fullness of truth. Help me to know you, to love you, and to serve you.

Quote for Today:

“Jesus is happy to come with us, as truth is happy to be spoken, as life to be lived, as light to be lit, as love is to be loved, as joy to be given, as peace to be spread.” -St. Francis of Assisi  (CLICK TO TWEET)
