YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWS YOUR NEEDS

Heart of Jesus I adore thee, Heart of Mary I implore thee, Heart of Joseph pure and just, in these three hearts I place my trust.
When on earth Our Blessed Lord said many things. One thing that came through more than anything else was that He has our interests at heart and He wants us to believe in Him. If we don't obey His laws and trust in Him He is unable to help us. In the end it is the choice between the power of good and the power of evil. The spirit of God helps us and the power of evil will eventually destroy us if we let it. The world is far to complex to go it alone. We need to place our trust in Our Blessed Lord.

 

 

 

YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWS YOUR NEEDS

by

J. A. Fullerton

How am I to pay all the bills?

I need to take a few more pills

Things at work aren’t real good

I won’t lose my job will I? - ‘knock on wood.’

School fees are going up all the time

I think I need a bit more wine

And there is so much today

To lead my son and daughter astray

The price of everything is rising

I can’t cope, it’s not surprising

But only if we could recall

The words Our Blessed Lord did say

When He preached down here on earth one day

“The birds of the air your Heavenly Father feeds

And your Heavenly Father too knows your needs”

So have faith in your heavenly Father above

And just send Him all your love.

 

THE NEW EVALGELIZATION

At the meeting of the Synod of Bishops in Rome in 2012, Pope Benedict XVI said it was the Church’s responsibility to evangelize to the modern world. The Church has to take the sacraments to the world. He said the sacramental journey with Baptism, the Eucharist, Confession and Confirmation, is where we encounter the Lord’s call for holiness.

The pope said the new evangelization is to intensify the gospel in countries where the Church is losing strength- where people are not going to mass or passing on the faith to younger generations. The pope said the Church must fight against religious illiteracy and indifference.

He went on to say that there are many countries where inhabitants, in many cases not knowingly, await with lively expectations the first proclamation of the gospel. He said we must ask the Holy Spirit to arouse in the Church a new missionary dynamism whose main protagonists are pastoral workers and the lay faithful. The message is still the same. He said it is just a matter of using new methods to promote the gospel and to explain why it is relevant in today's world and in people's lives.

The Holy Father said in those countries where the church has lost strength, people have lost a precious treasure. He said they have fallen from a lofty dignity- not financially or in terms of earthly power, but in a Christian sense, their lives have lost a sound and secure direction. They have become, often unconsciously beggars for the meaning of existence.
