-------I received the following letter of encouragement in January. It speaks to the power of prayer, the power of intercessory prayer, especially by people who are kind enough to remember our parish in their prayers and petitions. The letter reads as follows:
|
|
-------Speaking of the power of prayer, I am asking that you remember me in your prayers this coming week. I am scheduled to have knee replacement on Tuesday, February 15 followed by my healing recovery. If you see me hobbling around, don’t be too concerned; but do know that I welcome your prayers and your support. Thank you!
-------May God bless you in 2022!

“Blessed are you when people hate you…exclude and insult you, and denounce your name…on account of the Son of Man.” (LUKE 6:22)
All of us have been in situations when someone has made a negative comment or joke about God or our Catholic faith. How did you respond? Did you stay silent or pretend to go along with the crowd because you didn’t want to cause waves and then, later, you felt bad? Know that God is with you all the time, the Holy Spirit will put the right words in your mouth. Pray for the strength and courage to proclaim our faith to others, especially during uncomfortable situations.
