St. Saviour’s - Building Community through Faith, Service, and Hope.

Verse of the Week: “Keep awake, therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” Matthew 25:13

Thought for the Week: These words from Matthew’s Gospel remind us of the importance of paying attention as we go through this life because we never know when the opportunity might present itself to make someone else’s life just a little bit better. Our lives are full of so many things. Obligations and responsibilities, challenges to overcome, people to see, places to go, and things to do. It’s all we can do simply to manage our own orbit. And it can be exhausting. Leaving us with little energy to do all those things that we wish we could or planned to do because we just need rest. The good news of the Gospel is that even when the pressure of our lives is greatest, if we are able to muster the strength and courage to stay awake, keep our eyes open and be prepared for even those small opportunities to share God’s love with someone else then we will not be disappointed, and the world can find hope.  Because God’s love is transformative. It changes the lives of those who receive it, and it changes the lives of those who are the vessels through which it runs. So, let’s keep awake and make sure we are prepared to share in the hope and love that our faith provides.
