The Light of Christ has come into the World.

I am hearing from a lot of people around the world, and especially in the US, who have lost their jobs or have had their hours cut at work.

It is a difficult time. Many have families to feed and mortgage to pay. Few have the luxury of not having to worry about money.
These very real hardships affect our spiritual life and our prayer.
Prayer often gets replaced by worry. Hope is replaced by fear.
I want to remind you that we just celebrated the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord last Monday. Its message is an echo of the Christmas message: the Light of Christ has come into the World.
Where there is light there is no darkness.
So what does this mean? Does this mean that Jesus is going to pay your electricity bill? Well no, not necessarily. What it does mean is that if we stay in the light, everything will be okay and will work out.
If you stay with Christ and do not neglect your spiritual needs, you will be able to address more effectively the material needs like paying bills and keeping a roof over your head.
On a practical note, I want to propose that if anyone hears of job openings lets post them here on Princereport.blogspot.com. To share this information, simply forward job opening to our email address : Princereport@gmail.com

For your reflection:
How is the economic crisis impacting your life and how are you dealing with it in prayer?
Is someone in greater need right now that you could help?
Is Jesus present in your life, or not?
