A humble man hopes to be able to  serve.  Are we willing to be a servant for Jesus - to get our hands dirty in the trenches of humanity?

	ideas[16] = "One title of Jesus was, Immanuel, which means, God with us.  The coming of Jesus into our world reaffirms that God desires to be with us.  Today God is with us by way of His Holy Spirit.  Now he can be with us anywhere and at any time.  While he does not promise that we will be free from sicknesses or problems, he does promise to be with us through our days.  In the night hours or the moments of the day we can listen for his Spirit giving us the assurance that He is still with us. <BR><BR> <DIV ALIGN=RIGHT>-Larry Mathias</DIV>"
	ideas[17] = "Some years ago a friend had a stroke.  During her recovery she didn't speak much.  Although she would answer \"yes\"  or \"no\" to questions phrased to seek this response.  Every three to six seconds she would say, \"O come, come!\"  Sometimes she would say, \"Won't you please come?  Won't anybody come?\"  He daughter sought to reassure her saying, \"I am here.  I am right here.\"  I was standing nearby wondering if she was reaching out to God.<BR><BR>Often Christians say either unconsciously or consciously, \"O God, won't you come?\"  In Revelation 3:11 we read, \"Behold, I come quickly,\"  Then in Revelation 22:20, we read, \"Surely I come quickly: Amen.  Even so, come Lord Jesus!\"  So, let it be, Lord Jesus, come and meet my needs.  <BR><BR> <DIV ALIGN=RIGHT>-D. Max Brunton</DIV>"

Your souls will find rest, for my yoke is easy and my burden light.\" (MT. 11:28-30)  Is there tension between the \"rest\" that Jesus offers and the \"yoke\" he invites us to wear?  What did Jesus mean by his yoke?  The \"rest\" he offers us comes from his own life from adopting and living each day his attitudes, his values, his mission, his ministry, his willingness to lay down his very life - in whatever circumstances we find ourselves.  What makes Jesus' yoke easy?  A good yoke is carefully shaped to reduce chafing to a minimum.  Jesus promises that his yoke will be kind and gentle to our shoulders, enabling us to carry our load more easily.  That is what he means when he says his burden is \"light\".  Actually, it might be quite heavy, but we will find it possible to carry out our responsibilities.  Why?  Because Jesus will help us.<BR><BR> <DIV ALIGN=RIGHT>-Joseph Cardinal Bernadin</DIV>"

	ideas[23] = "Your sufferings accepted and borne with unshakable faith, when joined to those of Christ take on extraordinary value for the life of the Church and the good of humanity.  Christ doesn't explain in the abstract the reasons fro suffering, but before all else he says:  \"Follow me!\"  Come!  Take part through your suffering this work of saving the world, a salvation achieved through my suffering!  Through my Cross.  Gradually, as the individual takes up his cross, spiritually uniting himself to the Cross of Christ the salvific meaning of suffering is revealed before him.  He does not discover this meaning at his own human level, but at the level of the suffering of Christ.  At the same time, however, from this level of Christ the salvific meaning of suffering descends to man's level and becomes, in a sense, the individual's personal response.  It is then that man finds in his suffering interior peace and even spiritual joy.<BR><BR> <DIV ALIGN=RIGHT>-Pope John Paul II</DIV>"
