While I love the idea of rest and relaxation\u2014especially if wine, a good book, and a comfy chair are involved\u2014I\u2019ve realized something uncomfortable over the years: sometimes I bring everything with me but Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At home, my faith life feels natural. A morning prayer time that I affectionately refer to as \u201ccoffee with Christ.\u201d A Rosary when I am driving in the car, Mass five days a week, Holy Hour, weekly women\u2019s group\u2014it\u2019s woven into my daily rhythm. But take me out of my routine and place me around people who aren\u2019t talking about faith, and suddenly I forget I\u2019m still called to be a disciple. I slip into what I jokingly call the \u201cFaith Protection Program.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jesus never said, \u201cProclaim the Kingdom, but only when it\u2019s convenient.\u201d He sent ordinary people who still had fears, flaws, and questions. Jesus \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d (Matthew 10:1). Faithfully, they carried out the plans God had for them; they were able to do what was asked because they were consistently connected to Him through prayer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s the reminder I need most during vacations, holidays, and even ordinary busy days: the Kingdom of Heaven is always at hand. And being a citizen of that kingdom is as easy as raising my heart and mind to God in prayer. The problem is that my attention is easily drawn away when my routine is altered in any way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, when I lose focus, God offers grace instead of guilt. Maybe bringing Jesus on vacation simply means making checking for Mass times more important than making dinner reservations, praying grace even in a crowded restaurant, or saying a Rosary while walking the beach or driving between attractions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We never stop being disciples, even on vacation. After all, the best trips are spent in the company of dear friends\u2014and there is no better companion than Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Prayer:<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dear Jesus, thank You for never abandoning me, even when I become distracted by busyness, routines, or relaxation. Help me remember that Your Kingdom is always at hand and give me the grace to keep You at the center wherever I go.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Call to Action:<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before your next outing, vacation, or family gathering, intentionally invite Jesus to come along and look for one simple way to keep your faith present throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2026 WINE \u2014 All Rights Reserved<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Allison Gingras \u201cAnd preach as you go, saying, \u2018The kingdom of heaven is at hand.&#8217;\u201d ~ Matthew 10:7 In Matthew 10:1\u20137, Jesus sends out the Apostles with authority and a mission: \u201cThe kingdom of heaven is at hand.\u201d They venture out with no extra baggage, no GPS, nothing but a deep-rooted trust that God [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":355608,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[112281,112282,100227,148814,112284,112285],"tags":[112286,112287,17371,2707,148815,112289,641,9182,112290],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-355607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-catholic-blog","category-catholic-women","category-inspiration","category-new-wine-wednesday","category-scripture-reflection","category-wine-women-in-the-new-evangelization","tag-catholic-blog","tag-catholic-women","tag-inspiration","tag-jesus","tag-new-wine-wednesday","tag-scripture-reflection","tag-vacation","tag-wine","tag-wine-women-in-the-new-evangelization"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jesus on Vacation - WINE - Som2ny Network<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fivemor.com\/?p=355607\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jesus on Vacation - WINE - Som2ny Network\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"By Allison Gingras \u201cAnd preach as you go, saying, \u2018The kingdom of heaven is at hand.&#8217;\u201d ~ Matthew 10:7 In Matthew 10:1\u20137, Jesus sends out the Apostles with authority and a mission: \u201cThe kingdom of heaven is at hand.\u201d They venture out with no extra baggage, no GPS, nothing but a deep-rooted trust that God [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/fivemor.com\/?p=355607\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Som2ny Network\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-07-08T22:30:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/fivemor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2026-07-08-Jesus-on-Vacation.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"315\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/fivemor.com\/?p=355607#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/fivemor.com\/?p=355607\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/fivemor.com\/#\/schema\/person\/b85e3c3dc0e1daea076524dc8810c371\"},\"headline\":\"Jesus on Vacation &#8211;
