Jesus’ first words are “repent and believe the good news” (Mark 1:15)
Each life is unique so our responses to Jesus’ invitation will all look different
Although created for love, we are all fragile and can often be self-centred
Call to repent means setting out in a new direction towards Jesus
Our faith is first an encounter with Jesus, and growing in relationship with him
“Love one another” through the gift of the Holy Spirit (John 15:12, 14:15-16)
Through prayer and the words of the Gospel let’s meet with Jesus daily
Jesus offers us friendship; let’s not be found to be too busy
Fasting, sacrifice and giving-up pleasures can free us from self-centredness
Through genuine almsgiving we reach the poor, lonely, broken and lost
Making our home in Jesus as he makes his in us enables our dreams to emerge
