Led by the Spirit and Not the Flesh: Family Reflection Video

Led by the Spirit and Not the Flesh: Family Reflection Video

Strengthening family unity

What we can expect if we allow ourselves to be led by the Spirit.

Saint Paul reminds us that followers of Jesus possess a unique gift, God’s presence within us. That presence, God’s Spirit, is what enables us to follow His will and not our own.

With your family talk about the difference of being led by the Spirit and by your own desires. How can you encourage each other to follow the Spirit within you?

End together in prayer: Father, your Son Jesus died for the truth. He died to reveal the truth of your goodness, love and grace. Help us embrace fully your call to the Christian life. Make our family completely yours. Amen.
