Reflection:

1. If someone would imitate you, what would he or she do? Do you live as one who is called, loved, and family?

2. Is the Holy Spirit powering your life, your holiness, your service, your daily work, your prayer life? Is there something that you have struggled with that you believe to be unchangeable in your life? What has kept you from allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to change what you believe to be unchangeable about yourself?
