St. Jerome Emiliani |
History
Jerome Emiliani was a powerful
military commander in Venice, Italy. He didn’t think he needed God…until Venice
was overthrown by an army, and Jerome was thrown into prison. That’s when
Jerome realized that he couldn’t do things on his own. He gave himself to God.
When he got out of prison, he became a priest and dedicated himself to helping
orphans.
Activity
Sometimes, we think we can do things
all by ourselves. But we really need God to help us. And when we rely on God,
we can do even greater things than we ever could have imagined. Today, think
about the things that you are used to doing “on your own” and instead, bring
God into them by praying before you do them. Don’t forget to ask Him what He
wants you to do – and listen for the answer.
