"The Lord transforms obedience into wisdom with the action of his Holy Spirit”. Pope Francis, 2015
Have you ever received a blessing when you have followed God in your words or deeds? God asks us to obey his commandments and follow what he asks of us because he wants to bless us with peace and joy in our lives. When we obey him, we open ourselves up to the infinite love and the true opportunities God wants to share with us.

Think about your relationships with your friends. What have you said “yes” to, but maybe did not follow through on? When did you say “no” to something that maybe you should have said yes to? Can you change any of these negative situations? Pray about these situations honestly. Can you tell your friend(s) you have changed your mind? Think about ways you can make opportunities for second chances.
