  1. Our Call for 2012 “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.” (Col. 2: 6-7)

  4. For our MWG sharing “Your brothers and sisters throughout the world undergo the same sufferings.” 1 Peter 5:9 Tradition tells us that St. Mark is the same John Mark who accompanied Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey. For some reason however, Mark left halfway through the mission and returned home. (Acts 15: 37-38). We don’t know why, but he hung around Paul, he must have experienced some of what Paul did – sleepless nights, hunger, beatings, and the like. Perhaps it was just too much for him, and he wanted to return to a normal life. Perhaps, since he was young, he just homesick. But whatever moved him to leave, Mark couldn’t stay away too long. Not for long after he left, Barnabas invited him on a mission trip to Cyprus, and Mark accepted the challenge. (Acts 15:39)

  5. For our MWG sharing Few of us endure the kind of trials that Mark did. But we all face our own challenges. And those challenges can make us want to run away and isolate ourselves. Sometimes, running away feels easier than staying the course and surrendering ourselves into God’s loving hands. Sometimes, we’d rather isolate ourselves than rely on a brother or sister for encouragement. But we simply can’t be all that we are called to be without people to encourage us and remind us of God’s goodness.

  6. For our MWG sharing • Discussion Question: • Where are we in our “journey” with the Lord? • On fire for the Lord, wherein we are able to call others on • Simply “coasting along”; neither hot nor cold • Do we feel like giving up, running away or isolating ourselves?

  7. Let us remember “I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.” Phil. 1:6
