Dear Parish Family,
Ever feel there is a storm brewing, looming and then cresting around you and then you become “the eye of the storm”? Life can get pretty hectic, chaotic, and wild. There is a book by Debra Herbeck “Safely Through the Storm” which provides a number of reflections from saints and others who suffered and yet never gave up. Did you ever ask God “where are you – I need your help?” In our hearts and minds, we know God is always here for us. Perhaps we should turn on our ears!
Everywhere we turn we see senseless crimes, cruelness, a sense of entitlement, and very little appreciation for all of the blessings we have. How do we persevere though these trials and tribulations? As Jesus said in John 14:1, “Let not your heart be troubled, trust in God and trust in me.”
May our loving God bless you and give you comfort and wisdom during these storms.
Mary Jo
