Pray for more Laborers!
Pray for a rich harvest!

Success is often said to be built on a foundation of challenges and struggles, but those hurdles can become stepping stones if you stay determined and keep pushing forward! Today, we dive deeper into Jacob’s incredible journey, where he not only received blessings from God but was given the powerful name Israel! Picture this: Jacob wrestling with God until dawn—what an epic showdown! He came away with a broken hip, yet he didn’t back down. That tenacity is what true success is all about!

To thrive, you need a passionate attitude that fuels your fire for achievement. See yourself as a beacon of success, not as a failure. Even if you’re on the rise or facing setbacks, believe in your journey! I love the term ‘Peniel’ because it encapsulates the moment we get to stand before God, the Creator—what a glorious day that will be! Yes, Peniel! To see God face to face!

Let’s not forget, eternal life is found in Christ, and He invites us to pray earnestly for a bountiful harvest of workers for His kingdom! Christ’s mission is clear: He wants us to reach heaven and bring others along with us, sharing the life-changing Good News that has been entrusted to us through Sacred Tradition. So, let’s be proactive! Spread the joy of salvation and do good in the world. The beautiful truth is that the world is full of good people—if you can’t find one, step up and be that light! Let’s ignite the spirit of goodness together!
