Grace for the Journey: Learning to Dance with Christ Today’s Homily uses a proverb about dancing to illustrate the importance of flexibility in the Christian life. Just as a skilled dancer can adapt to any song, believers are called to let the words of Christ shape their lives without excuses or resistance. Jesus’ words are spirit and life, yet often we struggle to trust God, especially in moments of trial. Being Christian is not only about Baptism or following Christ at a distance . . . it is about “dancing to His tune,” becoming like Him through daily trust, humility, and perseverance. True discipleship means moving beyond listening to living His word, even when it is difficult, relying on God’s grace for strength. Listen to this Meditation Media.
