TODAY we hear Saint Paul tell us that his life of faith included the endurance of weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints. Paul was able to endure all these things because he centered himself in Christ. As you go forth from this place to reflect on these words, we pray that you will become more and more centered in Jesus Christ. We eagerly await the day when you will share fully with us at the Lord’s table. Now go in peace. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------QUESTION OF THE WEEK….How do I respond when someone is critical of me?
