The title of the following video is simply “Reach”. I can’t anymore remember how many times I have used this video in my homilies, talks and presentations. I like it not only because it is short and simple (i.e., fits nicely into my homily time frame) but also because it is meaningful and purposeful.
The video brings home the point that when you are disconnected from a power source you can do nothing. The robot mirrors how many of us live our lives. Like the robot, we want to do things by ourselves, independent of others. Often we rely on our strength alone. Like the robot, we forget that without being connected to the source of all power we can do nothing. True strength, true power comes from God.
We always need to stay connected to God. Our strength grows out of our closeness with God. With God as our “power source”, we can accomplish far beyond what we can do on our own. For with God we gain strength, courage, and confidence in becoming who we are capable of becoming.
“For with God we gain strength, courage, and confidence in becoming who we are capable of becoming.” – a good note to self before starting my day
