Step In first

In this reflection, Fr. Simon discusses the importance of taking initiative in our spiritual lives. He uses the story of the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda to encourage us to stop making excuses and instead be the first to serve others, the first to make amends during conflicts, and the first to pursue divine blessings. By looking at figures like Isaiah, Abigail, and Jacob, he shows how responding with zeal and humility helps us better reflect the image of Christ.
