All make me stop and take time to smell the roses and enjoy each day that God has given to me as a gift. In response what do I do with that gift? I am called to serve God's people just as Paul or any of the other apostles were. Sometimes I may moan about what my day consists of, when doing errands for my 99 year old mother, caring for my grandchildren or serving another funeral at my parish as bereavment minister. If I take time to reflect on each days duties and think of what St. Angela may have done in her day, this may make my days duties a lot lighter and I will feel refreshed as I serve God's people as an associate of the Ursuline Sisters of Youngstown.

Thank you for this reflection. Daily there are occasions when I am called to be Eucharist for another. I am a care-giver for my 91 year old mother who has some dementia; I check-in with my 94 year old uncle and pay his bills; I am a mother to a teen-age boy who is learning to drive and I am a wife. Daily, it is self-giving. I am an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist in my parish. Thank you for this reflection. Daily there are occasions when I am called to be Eucharist for another.
