Beloved,
As I spoke about in my last email the lives of the Saints are of immense help to us. They give us examples of ones who have lived a life in Christ and show us that this life in Christ is not merely a concept but a life lived. And it is not just a life lived but Christ's life lived in us. In the Saints then we see Christ's life lived out in all the varying circumstances of the multiplicity of circumstances that arise in life and in creation.
Are you struggling with health? Read the lives of the Saints and see how God heals not only the body but the soul.
Are you perplexed by the great evil that surrounds you? Read the lives of the Saints to remember that you are not alone.
Are you beset by the weight of responsibility? Read the lives of the Saints and see how Christ strengthens us to bear all burdens.
