Wisdom for the day – Fr. George Calciu

March 8, 2013

Christianity is the religion of active works.

Jesus Christ was active.

He came into the world wanting to save us all.

He did everything that was need:

He cared for the spirit but also for the flesh.

He healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, cleansed the lepers, raised the dead, raised from the bed of suffering the sinner and the paralyzed. He conversed with the sinful women and with the publican.

He called all to salvation.

This means there is not one man in this world whom He gave no talent or who is not called to salvation. If one will not be saved, is because he did not want to be saved.

Everyone is called to serve the church, to serve God.

Each one of you received one talent and God is asking you to use it.

Multiply it by good deeds for your spiritual growth and for your salvation. Win the love of Him Who came into the world and was crucified for us.

So I ask all of you to contribute to the work of the Church by your good deeds, by your words and by your prayers.

Fr. George Calciu
